Botox for Back Pain

What Is back pain?

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation that makes movement difficult. Chronic back pain is often caused by muscle strain, nerve compression, or spinal disorders.

How can Botox treat back pain?

Botox helps relieve chronic back pain by relaxing overactive muscles that contribute to tension and discomfort. When injected into specific muscle groups in the back, Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract excessively, offering pain relief and improved mobility. It’s especially helpful for individuals who have not responded well to conventional treatments like physical therapy or medication.

Side Effects

Common side effects include localized pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Some patients may experience muscle weakness or flu-like symptoms, but serious side effects are rare.
