Symptoms of Migraines

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators like BOTOX® or Dysport® can help address migraines or cluster headaches by temporarily relaxing the muscles and blocking chemical pathways that cause painful headaches. We love that this treatment has the potential to make a real difference for people with chronic headaches and migraines. These injectable treatments may be utilized in the muscles along the temples, neck, bridge of the nose, back of the head, or along the shoulder blades to prevent migraines before they start. Neuromodulators are usually recommended for more severe, chronic headaches that occur at least 15 days a month. Please note that we cannot be the sole provider of your ongoing migraine management and will need to collaborate with your regular physician in providing this aspect of your care. Many private health care plans provide some coverage for neuromodulators in the context of migraines. If you have private coverage, we suggest reaching out to them in advance of your consultation to see what your plan might include.
