Therapeutic Injections Treatment Overview

Therapeutic injections offer a non-surgical, medically proven approach to treating various conditions such as chronic migraines, jaw tension, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). By utilizing botulinum toxin-based injections, these treatments temporarily relax overactive muscles or nerve signals, providing relief from discomfort, improving functionality, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Unlike cosmetic injectables that focus on wrinkle reduction, therapeutic injections target medical concerns, helping individuals reduce pain, restore comfort, and alleviate symptoms associated with muscular and neurological conditions. This treatment is FDA and Health Canada-approved and widely used by medical professionals for its effectiveness and long-lasting benefits.

Therapeutic injections can be used to treat:

- Chronic Migraines – Reducing headache frequency and severity.

- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders – Relieving jaw tension, clenching, and pain.

- Muscle Spasms & Dystonia – Alleviating involuntary muscle contractions in the neck, back, and limbs.

- Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating) – Reducing sweat production in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and forehead.

- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Relaxing the jaw to prevent grinding-related pain and dental issues.

As a safe and non-invasive alternative to surgical interventions, therapeutic injections provide long-lasting symptom relief with little to no downtime.

What To Expect

✔ Personalized Consultation – Our specialists assess your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine the right therapeutic approach for your needs.

✔ Targeted Injection Process – A fine needle is used to inject the therapeutic solution into the necessary muscles or glands, blocking nerve signals and reducing overactivity. Treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes.

✔ Immediate & Long-Term Relief – Some patients notice improvements within a few days, while full results develop over 1-2 weeks. Effects last 3-6 months, depending on the condition being treated.

✔ Minimal Recovery – Most individuals return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, with little to no side effects aside from mild soreness or swelling at the injection site.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 48 hours to minimize bruising.

✔ Stay well-hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment to prevent dizziness.

✔ Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before treatment to reduce swelling or irritation.

✔ Discuss any medications or medical conditions with your provider to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.

Aftercare

✔ Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the solution from spreading.

✔ Remain upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment to allow the injection to properly settle.

✔ Avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and excessive heat for 48 hours to prevent unwanted irritation.

✔ If mild soreness or swelling occurs, apply a cold compress gently to the area for relief.

✔ Schedule follow-up treatments as recommended to maintain optimal results.

Popular Therapeutic Injection Areas

Therapeutic Injections for Chronic Migraines

If you suffer from 15 or more headache days per month, therapeutic injections can significantly reduce migraine frequency and intensity by blocking pain signals from overactive nerves. Treatment is performed every 12 weeks, reducing migraine attacks before they even start.

Therapeutic Injections for TMJ & Jaw Tension

Excessive jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism) can lead to pain, tension headaches, and dental damage. Therapeutic injections into the masseter muscles help relax the jaw, alleviating pain and preventing further joint strain.

Therapeutic Injections for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

By blocking nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, therapeutic injections provide long-term relief from excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and scalp. Results last 4-6 months, offering comfort and confidence year-round.

Therapeutic Injections for Muscle Spasms & Dystonia

For individuals experiencing involuntary muscle contractions, therapeutic injections relax targeted muscle groups, providing relief from chronic pain and mobility restrictions.

FAQ's

How long do therapeutic injection results last?

The results of therapeutic injections vary based on the condition being treated, but most patients experience relief for 3-6 months. For chronic conditions like migraines or hyperhidrosis, maintenance treatments are recommended to ensure continuous symptom relief.

Are therapeutic injections safe?

Yes! Therapeutic injections have been FDA and Health Canada-approved for medical treatments for decades. When performed by a trained professional, they are highly safe, effective, and have minimal risks. Most side effects, such as mild soreness or temporary bruising, resolve quickly.

How soon will I feel relief after therapeutic injections?

Results depend on the condition being treated. For migraines and hyperhidrosis, improvement is typically noticeable within 1-2 weeks. For muscle-related issues like TMJ or spasms, relief can be felt as early as a few days after treatment.

Can I combine therapeutic injections with other treatments?

Absolutely! Therapeutic injections can be combined with other wellness treatments, including physical therapy, chiropractic care, and even cosmetic procedures like Botox for aesthetic enhancement.

Will therapeutic injections make my face or muscles feel frozen?

No! Unlike cosmetic Botox that targets expression lines, therapeutic injections only relax overactive muscles or glands to improve functionality and comfort. When administered correctly, natural movement and sensation are preserved.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for therapeutic injections?

If you suffer from chronic migraines, jaw pain, muscle tension, or excessive sweating, you may be a great candidate for therapeutic injections. A consultation with our specialists will help determine if this treatment is right for you based on your symptoms and medical history.
