Skip to content If you’re living with frequent or chronic migraines, relief is possible. At Alta Pain Physicians, we provide Botox® injections for migraines to help patients manage and significantly reduce headache frequency and intensity. This advanced treatment offers safe, lasting relief for those who have not responded to traditional medications. Our expert team delivers compassionate care and precision-based migraine management to help you reclaim comfort and quality of life.
It is an FDA-approved therapy designed to treat people with 15 or more headache days per month. Unlike cosmetic Botox®, which smooths facial lines, this medical treatment targets specific muscle groups that contribute to tension and migraine triggers in the head and neck.
The injections use botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily blocks certain nerve signals involved in pain. By targeting key injection sites such as the forehead, temples, scalp, and neck, this therapy helps prevent migraines before they start.
At Alta Pain Physicians, we specialize in expert chronic migraine treatment in Utah, combining advanced clinical techniques with a personalized approach customized to each patient’s needs.
Overactive pain pathways and muscle tension around the head and neck can cause migraines. It helps by interrupting those pain signals and relaxing targeted muscles.
During treatment, your provider places a series of small injections in multiple areas based on your pattern of symptoms. As the medication begins to work, it calms nerve activity, reduces muscle contraction, and eases the tension that can trigger migraine episodes.
Many patients notice benefits within 1 to 2 weeks, with optimal results after repeat treatment cycles, typically scheduled every 12 weeks. With consistent care, patients often experience fewer migraine days and an improved quality of life.
It offers an effective, non-systemic option for long-term prevention and comfort.
