For years, Botox has helped many men and women successfully treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. TMJ disorders can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and face, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Botox offers a non-surgical solution for alleviating these symptoms.
Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, reducing muscle contractions that contribute to TMJ pain. The injected muscle relaxes, alleviating tension and discomfort. This treatment can significantly reduce jaw clenching and teeth grinding, which are common symptoms of TMJ disorders. Additionally, it can relieve associated headaches and neck pain.
