How it works
Botox is made from botulinum toxin type A, a protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. For pain, it prevents the muscle spasms and pain signals that drive your condition. Relief usually begins within a few days and can last three months or more; you and Dr. Coccaro will plan follow-up visits to keep it going.
Is it right for me?
Botox is a good fit for chronic pain that hasn’t responded to conservative care. Dr. Coccaro will evaluate you with an exam, history review and, if needed, imaging, then talk through a plan with you.
