Botulinum Toxin: Your Secret Weapon Against Bad Posture, Neck Pain and Migraines
or TikTok’s infamous ‘barbie – tox’
Botulinum toxin is simply a protein that tells your muscles to take a break from their constant chatter with your nerves.
Let us explain:
We use our phones most of the day, unfortunately that makes us hunch & worsens our posture.
Our brain thinks this is going to be our new position forever so it signals your neck muscles to get stronger in that position.
Your muscles hear the signal, and start to get stronger. This then gives you neck pain, posture problems and sometimes a hunchback appearance.
So think of botulinum toxin as a well-trained traffic warden, telling certain overactive nerves to calm down and take a breather.
Just like different cities need different traffic management, different patients need tailored botulinum toxin treatments. So the dosage, injection points, and technique are really important. Your relief is only as good as your treatment plan! It’s the same with wrinkles, the muscles we inject are the ones that change, so it’s really important we know our anatomy to its finest detail. This means the results are better and complications are minimal.
At Harmony, Our methods are backed by extensive clinical research and real-world success stories. The treatment we provide is precisely calculated to give you maximum relief with minimal side effects. Having clinicians that have worked in maxillofacial surgery, our team have combined their expertise to really understand the head and neck anatomy.
So what does botulinum toxin do to your muscles?
Muscle Relaxation: It tells your trapezius muscles to loosen up, easing that constant shoulder and neck tension.
Pain Reduction: By calming overactive nerves, it can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. It has been shown to reduce the chemical marks that control inflammation
Posture Improvement: With relaxed trapezius muscles, you might find yourself standing taller and straighter without even trying.
Stress Relief: Less physical tension often translates to less mental stress. It’s like a spa day for your nervous system!
Trigger Point Deactivation: It can quiet down those pesky trigger points that refer pain to your head and cause migraines.
Long-lasting Effects: Unlike daily pills, one treatment can provide relief for several months. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
