It’s Christmas week. Anyone have a migraine from the stress?
Dr. Rina Shinn of Adonis Aesthetics has helped migraine sufferers experience excellent pain relief with Botox injections. She is the only physician in Pueblo to offer Botox for migraines.
Botox paralyzes the forehead and (sometimes neck) muscles that seem to be responsible for migraine headaches. Additionally, there is also the theory that Botox interferes with the transmission of nerve pain signals.
Patients are injected at various sites - the brow, eyes, forehead, side of neck and back of the head near the neck. Treatments last about 4 to 6 months.
FDA has not yet approved Botox for the treatment of migraines and therefore insurance does not cover the cost.
Patients who receive Botox for migraine relief have:
• significantly fewer migraine attacks per month
• reduced severity of migraine attacks
• fewer days using abortive/rescue medications
• fewer episodes of vomiting
