Learn more about our services

We offer trigger point injections for myofascial pain as well as botinulim toxin injections for chronic migraine. A Cochrane systematic review found Botox is effective for chronic migraine. Many patients are candidates for both treatments. Physician referrals are prioritized but we do also allow self-referrals.

Botox for TMJ syndrome
