How Therapeutic Botox Helps
Therapeutic Botox works by temporarily calming overactive muscles or nerve signals that contribute to pain, tension, or excessive gland activity. Unlike aesthetic use, dosing and placement are guided by medical indications and functional anatomy.
Depending on the condition being treated, therapeutic Botox can:
- Reduce the frequency and severity of chronic migraines
- Control excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in targeted areas
- Relieve jaw tension and clenching associated with bruxism
- Protect teeth, reduce pain, and improve daily comfort
Relief is typically gradual, with benefits building over days to weeks and lasting several months. Treatments are repeatable and adjustable over time.
Our Medical Approach
Therapeutic Botox requires precision, experience, and clinical judgment. At your consultation, Dr. Copeland will review your symptoms, medical history, prior treatments, and contributing factors to determine whether botulinum toxin is appropriate—or whether referral or alternative care is more suitable.
When treatment is indicated, injections are performed conservatively and strategically to preserve normal function while relieving symptoms. Follow-up and long-term planning are part of the process, ensuring treatment remains effective, safe, and aligned with your goals.
