Botox for Chronic Migraines

Preventive migraine care designed to interrupt pain pathways before attacks take over your day, using precise Botox placement across targeted head, neck, and shoulder areas.

What it is

FDA-approved prevention for adults with chronic migraine.

Botox, also known as onabotulinumtoxinA, is a prescription injectable treatment approved by the FDA for the preventive treatment of Chronic Migraine in adults.

It works by blocking the release of pain-related chemicals and neurotransmitters at targeted nerve endings. By interrupting these pathways, Botox helps prevent migraine headaches before they start rather than only reacting once pain is already intense.

Preventive, not instant rescue

Botox for chronic migraine is designed for ongoing prevention. Your provider will review your migraine history first to decide whether this treatment fits your pattern and goals.

02 Targeted pathways
