Say Goodbye to Jaw Pain

While well-known for its use in aesthetics, few know about how Botox can effectively treat multiple health concerns. Botox can be an effective solution to provide relief for many nerve and muscle disorders.

TMJ, also known as the temporomandibular joint, is one of two joints located in your jaw, right in front of your ear. The joint and the muscles around it can become strained, causing pain and discomfort. At Physician Aesthetic Specialists, we offer Botox in Lenexa to help relax these muscles and relieve the pain they cause.

Take Control Of Your TMJ

Have you been experiencing jaw pain, clicking in your jaw, or stiffness when trying to open your mouth? Then you might be experiencing symptoms of TMJ.

The cause of TMJ disorders can vary, but it can be because of strain on the joint, habitual grinding on the jaw, cartilage damage from arthritis, and more. And while the symptoms and the severity of those symptoms can vary, they can get worse over time if left untreated. If you experience these symptoms, then Botox in Lenexa may be right for you.

How Botox Works For TMJ

Botox works on the TMJ by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles in the jaw, specifically the masseter muscles.

Either a medical doctor or a registered nurse provides this simple injection within a 15-minute appointment. It releases tension from the muscles, effectively reducing and stopping the pain.

A 2017 review of 24 different studies showed that while Botox is not a permanent solution for TMJ disorder, it can greatly improve symptoms — reducing pain by 59% within one month of treatment and by 70% within 6 months of starting treatment.
