Chronic head, neck, and facial pain—especially migraines—affects millions of people. One of the most heavily promoted treatments in recent years is Botox® injections for migraine relief. But is Botox really effective? Is it safe? And more importantly, is it the right solution for your pain?
In this article, we’ll explore:
Let’s get into it.
Today, this same toxin is manufactured by pharmaceutical companies and used in two main ways:
1. Cosmetic Botox
Botox is injected into the forehead and facial muscles to temporarily paralyze muscle activity and reduce the appearance of frown lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. The effects last 3–4 months and requires regular re-injections.
2. Botox for Migraines and Facial Pain
It is injected into the head, face, and muscles to paralyze some of the jaw muscles to stop some of the pain due to muscle hyperactivity caused by teeth clenching and grinding.
Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine treatment, but there have never been double blind studies, normally required to prove that it is actually safe and effective.
Given what it was originally created for, how safe is it really? This treatment offers temporary relief at best. Botox doesn’t treat the root cause—it may numb the muscles but it does not stop the clenching and grinding because it only paralyzes the muscles, and the pain often returns as soon as the effects wear off.
No.
Botox does not cure headaches or facial pain. It may temporarily mask the symptoms, but it doesn’t address the underlying problem—the trigger for the muscle hyperactivity.
If you’ve ever watched a Botox commercial for migraine treatment, you’ll notice something interesting: nearly half of the commercial is a warning about potential side effects.
Common Botox Side Effects for Migraine Relief:
And because Botox wears off, you’ll need repeat injections every 3–4 months—that’s up to four times a year, indefinitely.
If your head, neck, or facial pain is caused by overactive muscles triggered by an imbalanced bite, the best way to stop the pain is to correct your bite.
Here’s how it works:
The real solution?
Balance the bite so the muscles can relax naturally—without toxins, needles, or side effects.
At Dental Care Stamford, Dr. Jerry Simon has developed a scientifically backed, non-invasive test using the Best-Bite™ Discluder to determine if your pain is caused by bite-triggered muscle hyperactivity.
This quick, 10-minute test is over 95% predictive for identifying bite-related headache, facial, and neck pain.
If the pain goes away during the test, you’ve found the source—and the fix.
Dr. Jerry Simon has given thousands of patients their lives back simply by correcting their bite. 75% of head, neck, and facial pain cases are due to an uneven bite. If you suffer from any headaches without answers or lasting solutions, then it’s time to check your bite!
You don’t need to rely on Botox to mask your pain.You deserve a long-term, natural solution with no side effects—and it starts with the right diagnosis.
