6 Unexpected Uses for Botox

Cervical dystonia (or spasmodic torticollis) causes painful involuntary muscle contractions in the neck, causing the head to twist to one side. This condition is extremely painful and can be found in patients of all ages. Possibly caused by neck or shoulder injuries, much about this condition is still unknown and treatment is not guaranteed. Botox can help by blocking the chemicals responsible for muscle contractions in the affected area. Although patients who receive this treatment most often report relief after Botox, some do not report much difference. If you think this option could work for you, discuss Botox with your doctor.
