CHRONIC MIGRAINE TREATMENT IN BARRIE
BOTOX® FOR CHRONIC MIGRAINE
Chronic migraine can significantly affect daily activities, work, social life and overall quality of life. At REVIVE Medical Spa in Barrie, patients experiencing frequent migraine symptoms can receive a medical assessment to help clarify their diagnosis and determine which treatment options may be appropriate.
If you are experiencing new, changing or persistent headache symptoms, it is important to speak with an appropriate healthcare provider for assessment and diagnosis. Chronic migraine treatment should be based on your medical history, symptoms and previous treatment response, with recommendations tailored to your individual needs.
Botox® may be used as a preventive treatment for chronic migraine in appropriate adults. Treatment involves injections into specific areas of the head and neck and is intended to help reduce the frequency of headache days over time rather than treat an acute migraine attack. At REVIVE, suitability is assessed during consultation based on your migraine history, previous treatments and medical history.
