If you are at all familiar with the aesthetic industry, then you have no doubt heard of Botox. This injectable is famous for its wrinkle-reducing capabilities and convenient treatment process. But if you are more interested in a wellness treatment, Botox can still provide the results you are looking for.
Botox is not just effective for eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. You should also consider a Botox treatment if you are looking for relief from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, which causes pain in the jaw.
If you are struggling with jaw pain and you want a solution, contact our team at Medical Esthetics Thunder Bay about Botox for TMJ in Thunder Bay, ON.
Injections for Jaw Pain 💉
Before we understand how Botox treats TMJ, we need to know how TMJ forms. The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw bone and the skull, so we can speak and chew and move our mouths in all directions. If you have a TMJ disorder, then you may grind or clench your jaw, leading to discomfort.
Fortunately, Botox can relax your muscles for noticeable relief. When we inject Botox into your TMJ, it can prevent you from clenching or grinding, alleviating pain, soreness, stiffness, immobility, and more discomfort.
The Botox Injection Process
One reason someone might consider Botox for TMJ is because of the convenient treatment process. A Botox treatment should only last about an hour.
During your appointment, we administer the injections in special, predetermined locations in the jaw. The injections are almost painless, but please let us know if you notice any irritation. If you have ever received a flu shot, then you have a pretty good idea about what to expect.
There is also minimal downtime following your treatment. We only recommend that you refrain from alcohol consumption and intense exercise for at least 24 hours.
