Surprising Body Parts Where Botox Can Be Used

My mom has chronic migraines, and she gets Botox for it. I feel like recently she is finally feeling some relief. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! My mom is so strong for dealing with all these migraines all the time and still putting me and my brother first. I love her sm

Dr I want to thank you for a life saving incident. I m 18yo, Yesterday my brother in law (sisters side) had a road accident..he was at backseat of motorbike & didn't wear helmet, when taken to a govt hospital the doctor said he is ok no need to to do any kind of diagnosis although he was bleeding from his crown & vomiting constantly, when I heard that I insisted 100 times that no doctor can say whether smtng is wrong without a diagnosis like MRI (This is one of the things I learnt from you❤️).. the next day when they did that..they found he had severe injury to the head & blood clot..which could've killed him. I m just thankfull to God that I have encountered you🥹..I m aspiring to be a doctor & human like you in the future ..God bless🫂❤️

I work for a Neurologist and we are heavily using it to help with migraine patients. I can happily say, about 95% of our patients notice a huge difference ☺️. However, our government in Canada does not support this treatment, therefore does not want to assist in helping patients to pay for it. So a lot of times, patients need to have extended benefits to cover the majority of the cost, in order to get it.

Dr. Mike, as someone who has suffered with severe vaginismus, I'm so happy to see it mentioned in this video. There is not enough awareness of the condition, and many women try to painfully put up with it for years before seeking treatment, because of misinformation, shame, and thinking that sex is supposed to be painful for us, when that's just not supposed to be the case. Botox is one treatment that is used more as a secondary option and in conjunction with physical and/or mental therapy. So many suffer in silence. Hopefully this little bit of info can help someone.

As a stroke survivor I am so grateful for Botox treatment which helps my spastic arm muscles to loosen enough for my hand to open.

Botox is also used in the vocal cords—when someone has aphonia due to paralysis of a vocal cord in the open position, Botox can be injected to help make the cord more closed, allowing the non paralyzed cord to make contact with it during phonation, thus restoring a person’s voice.

I get botox for my chronic migraines and it has changed my life for the better! It's not a cure, but I went from having 15-20 headache days per month to about 5-10.

I’ve been getting quarterly Botox for chronic migraines for about a year now and the severity of the headaches has become so manageable. It’s life changing.

A note about bladder and pelvic floor Botox: it is most ideal when combined with pelvic floor physical therapy ❤️

My friend uses this for her chronic migraines. My migraines aren't frequent enough to warrant it. However, I have multiple sclerosis and just had my second Botox treatment for my bladder yesterday. Complete lifechanger. I told my fellow MS Warriors that it is a miracle of modern science. I highly recommend it. No need to sit and suffer in silence when help is available. 🧡💜🧡

I am so glad someone has brought attention to the benefits and medical uses for botox, rather than simply bad mouthing the cosmetic procedures of botox. Thank you for doing what you do Dr Mike!

My vocal cords slam shut when I have a severe sudden onset asthma attack. They wanted to try Botox on my vocal cords. I went with OT instead, learning how to breath through a severe attack to keep the vocal cords from shutting and me from blacking out and falling. I am a singer and feared losing control over my voice if I took the injections. Thanks for covering this

I had Botox injected into my upper eye muscle to purposefully paralyze my eyelid. This was to help heal my cornea.

My grandma got Botox in her neck muscles due to dystonia from Parkinson’s, which would spasm and pull her head down. It was super beneficial in allowing those muscles to relax

I have Tourette's Syndrome, causing tics similar to the movements of cervical dystonia, among others. When I went to the neurologist to talk to him about how bad my tics have gotten and told him how my neck and upper back muscles were constantly tense from those specific tics, he referred me to a place to get botox in the neck muscles. I am also saving money to get some in my jaw for my TMJ disorder. I have severe bruxism at even during the day at times, nothing has helped. My dentist told me to not take muscle relaxants since there's a risk it could make my jaw slide off completely. It's quite incredible how versatile it can be!

I have a super rare (and minor) medical condition that's been discovered in the past few years known as R-CPD. Essentially one of the muscles in my throat responsible for letting food go down and letting gas pass back up only works 'one way', so food can go down, but I'm almost entirely unable to burp or pass gas upwards. The results are gas bloating (sometimes painful cramps), weird digestive noises, and possible link to IBS (which I have), among a few other little things. The current treatment for it is to get a botox injection into the aforementioned muscle, which relaxes it and causes it to 'work properly'. I haven't gotten the treatment yet because only a few places do it, but yeah! Botox can be very useful.

Finding botox treatment for migraines completely changed my life. I was having at least one migraine a week and I had no life. I was constantly under the threat of disciplinary action from work due to time off sick. The agony was unbearable. I was eventually referred to the neurology department at my local hospital and, having looked at my history and all the drugs I'd been on, the consultant immediately recommended me for botox. I had my first injections done there and then. In the last 10 years, I've only had 8 migraines, which is nothing short of a miracle. I'm so unbelievably happy that I found this treatment.

Dr Mike is one of the best YouTubers I have ever seen. I have so much more appreciation for medicine because of him. Thanks so much for your work.

Botox REALLY works for treating hyperhidrosis! Unfortunately for me, hyperhidrosis is considered an illness in the EU but NOT in Sweden where I live. I've gone through two treatments. The first one lasted 3-4 months, but the second lasted 15 WONDERFUL months! Initially after the first treatment, I had "ghost sweating", as it felt like I was severely sweating from my head, but when I touched it, it was completely dry! Living with hyperhidrosis means that you always need to have a few spare sets of clothing at work. Once I start sweating because of my condition, it can take 30-120 minutes before it stops, regardless of my environment. I can highly recommend botox as a treatment if you can afford it. My treatment consisted of 400-500 tiny injections on my head and torso, and took well over an hour each time.
