Myofascial pain syndrome
Do you have tension in the shoulder/neck area?
o you suffer from acute and/or chronic pain in the muscles of the neck and shoulders? A pathological increase in muscle activity plays a role in the development of pain. In addition to painful tension and restricted movement, this also causes symptomatic headaches, for example.
Treatment with BTX has a muscle-relaxing effect, which considerably reduces the pain in these areas.
Tennis elbow
Tennis elbow - we can help
Tennis elbow is usually caused by overloading the tendon insertions in the elbow area. It is either an acute overload or a chronic overload because the recovery phases between recurring strains were too short.
If tennis elbow is diagnosed, there are various treatment options, such as painkillers, bandages, physiotherapy, etc.. These can alleviate the symptoms, but are usually very protracted. In some cases, they do not provide sufficient pain relief.
Localised muscle treatment with BTX reduces nerve conduction and relaxes the muscles for a certain period of time. This allows the painful tendon insertion to recover and the inflammation to heal.
Bruxism
Do you grind your teeth?
Whether during the day or at night, some people unconsciously grind their teeth or clench their jaws. This phenomenon, also known as bruxism, can have many physical and psychological causes. For example, constant stress can cause and intensify teeth grinding. This “teeth grinding” can have serious consequences. They range from tooth damage to persistent, severe headaches and neck pain. Treatment with BTX can relax the overactive chewing muscle and reduce the negative effects.
Hyperhidrosis
Heavy sweating does not have to be
Increased sweating is called hyperhidrosis, which can be treated with BTX. Heavy sweating on the palms of the hands and feet or under the armpits is often very unpleasant for those affected. Hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin can provide relief.
Wrinkle treatment
BTX to smooth your wrinkles
Visible wrinkles are difficult to prevent from a certain age. These wrinkles often appear in the twenties due to the movement of the mimic facial muscles. The use of BTX can reduce these effects, as it weakens muscle activity. When treating frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet, BTX is a good way of preventing the formation of wrinkles
