-
Reduced muscle spasms: Provides significant relief from involuntary contractions and spasms.
-
Improved mobility: Enhances the ability to perform daily activities and improves overall quality of life.

Benefits
In the treatment of dystonia, Botox is injected directly into the affected muscles. The injections block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contractions. This reduces muscle activity and helps alleviate symptoms. Treatments are typically repeated every 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual’s response.
Botox (botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin used as a treatment for various types of dystonia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that can cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
