Botulinum toxin treatment, commonly known by brand names such as Botox, is used in neurology for selected conditions involving chronic migraine, overactive muscles, abnormal nerve signals, facial spasms, dystonia, spasticity, and selected pain syndromes.
VerityMD Neurology provides neurological evaluation and treatment planning for patients who may benefit from botulinum toxin injections or other targeted neurological treatments.

Hemifacial spasm or facial twitching
Blepharospasm
Cervical dystonia or neck pulling
Limb dystonia or writer’s cramp
Post-stroke spasticity
Painful muscle stiffness or spasms
Selected facial pain symptoms including trigeminal neuralgia treatment planning
Chronic migraine
Hemifacial spasm
Blepharospasm
Cervical dystonia
Focal limb dystonia
Post-stroke spasticity
Spasticity after brain or spinal cord injury

How this helps:
Targets overactive muscles
May improve posture, pain, and range of motion
Can be combined with therapy or adaptive strategies
Spasticity may occur after stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS, or other neurological conditions.
How this helps:
Reduces focal muscle stiffness
May improve comfort, hygiene, positioning, and caregiving
Supports therapy, stretching, splinting, and bracing when appropriate
Botulinum toxin may be considered in selected medication-resistant facial pain cases, but diagnosis, imaging, medication history, and alternatives must be reviewed carefully.
How this helps:
Reviews whether symptoms fit trigeminal neuralgia or another facial pain condition
Evaluates medication response and side effects
Supports individualized treatment planning
Chronic migraine meeting clinical criteria
