BOTOX has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Cervical Dystonia (uncontrollable muscle tightening or turning of the neck). Qualifying Spine Team Texas patients can be treated with BOTOX to relieve muscle spasms and reduce pain levels. The treatment works by stopping the release of acetylcholine, a substance that transmits signals from nerves to muscles. Results from the BOTOX Neurotoxin Treatment have been seen within a few days, with most patients only needing to return for another injection after three months.
