Treatment Planning for Chronic Migraine, Hemifacial Spasm, Dystonia, Spasticity, and Selected Facial Pain Conditions

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.

How this helps:

  • Reduces involuntary facial twitching or eyelid closure

  • May improve visual comfort and function

How this helps:

Botox for Spasticity

Spasticity may occur after stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS, or other neurological conditions.
