Migraine Question

[Guest guest]

For those patients that respond to conservative/chiropractic management

of headaches, but don't show long-term resolution, I have been working

with a neurologist in Corvallis that is injecting the upper cervical

and sub-occipital muscles with Botox. So far this has been showing

good relief for those patients with a long history of muscle

contraction headaches that have not shown good results or long-term

relief with either meds or conservative care.

Initially the relief is temporary, usually less than two weeks, but as

the repeated injections are given, the relief is longer lasting. I

realize there are toxic side effects to this drug but when the patient

is at the end of their rope, anything is appreciated.
