Get Relief From Migraines With FDA-approved BOTOX

Throbbing head pain, neck stiffness, fatigue, sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, nausea, and vomiting — migraines can be all-encompassing and hard to ignore.

About 7 million Americans (that’s roughly  2% of the U.S. population) suffer from chronic migraines. Many of them spend years trying different medications without finding lasting relief. 

At Goodman Dental Center, in Gilbert, AZ, Dr. Brian Goodman and Dr. Tanner Goodman have helped countless patients beat migraine pain with therapeutic Botox® injections. 

Over 1 million patients have used Botox to treat chronic migraines. It’s the number one prescribed branded preventive treatment for chronic migraines in the country. 

Here’s how it works.

How Botox works for chronic migraines

Botox is an FDA-approved medical therapy for adults with chronic migraines. It doesn't work the same way as acute headache medications, which you take after a pain attack has already started. Instead, we use it as a preventive measure to stop headaches before they even begin.

We inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles around your head and neck. The treatment targets the nerve endings in these areas. This blocks the release of natural chemicals that carry pain signals to your brain, preventing the pain networks from activating in the first place.

What to expect during your treatment sessions

Visiting our practice for this therapy is straightforward and quick. Here is what you can expect:

• The entire injection process takes only about 15 minutes.
• Our specialists use a very small, fine needle to ensure your comfort.
• We administer injections into specific areas, including your forehead, temples, the back of your head, neck, and upper shoulders.
• Most patients describe the sensation as a tiny pinprick or a slight stinging.

You can resume your daily activities right after you leave our office. We usually recommend a session schedule spaced 12 weeks apart. It’s important to stay consistent with this timeline because the benefits accumulate over time. While some patients notice improvement after their first session, it can take 2 or 3 cycles to achieve the maximum benefit.

Real relief backed by medical evidence

Research shows that patients undergoing this treatment protocol report a 50% reduction in total headache frequency after 2 treatment cycles.
