2. Most people probably recognize the name Botox as a
product designed to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles in
the face. Its cosmetic uses are well known and have
even been mentioned in movies and on reality television
shows.
What most people don't know is that Botox also has
several medical uses that have nothing to do with
aesthetics at all. In fact, Botox is now used as a
treatment option for some pretty diverse conditions.

3. In case you aren't sure exactly what Botox is, it is
actually a toxin known as botulinum toxin that is
produced by a food poisoning bacteria. The effect of
the toxin is to block nerves that control glands and
muscles. This makes the glands stop secretion and
paralyzes the muscles.
In larger doses, Botox can be
fatal, but in tiny doses it can be
very helpful for your wrinkles
and many medical issues.

4. For many people, migraine headaches are completely
debilitating. Luckily, Botox has shown effectiveness at
preventing at treating migraines.
By injecting it directly into specific trigger points, it
relaxes the muscles associated with migraines and
reduces the frequency and severity of attacks.
Botox works to interrupt the signals to various nerves
that cause the muscle contractions and spasms of
migraines.

5. Bladder issues like urinary incontinence can be
frustrating and more than a little embarrassing. For
patients with neurological conditions that cause
overactivity in the bladder, Botox helps to resolve the
problem.
Since the bladder is unable to store urine like it should,
Botox is injected directly into the bladder to help it relax.
This results in greater muscle control and fewer
incidents of incontinence.

6. Excessive and uncontrollable sweating, also known as
hyperhidrosis, is another condition that responds well to
Botox injections.
Basically, when Botox is injected near the sweat glands,
the signal to sweat is interrupted. The results are often
dramatic, with up to an 80% decrease in sweat
production for up to 7 months.
Botox works for sweating in the underarms, hands, feet
and forehead.

7. Cerebral Palsy is a condition known for spastic
movements in arms and legs, as well as sudden muscle
stiffness and contraction. These issues are caused
when the signals from the brain to the limbs aren't
communicated efficiently.
When Botox is used, it can effectively disrupt the
communication between the spinal cord and the nerves.
This allows the muscles to relax, and the sudden
jerking movements and contractions are halted.

8. The painful neurological disorder known as cervical
dystonia is another condition that is eased with the help
of Botox. The symptoms include involuntary spasms
and contractions in the neck muscles that can restrict
normal neck movements and cause severe neck pain.
One of the treatments for cervical dystonia is to inject
Botox into the neck and shoulder muscles to help relax
the muscles and quiet contractions. This effect is
temporary, but it can be repeated every few months, as
needed.
