Botox for Neck Pain?

It would be best for you to see a pain specialist and if you do decide to try Botox, please see a Board Certified physician who has experience in non-traditional uses of Botox.  Good luck.

Only a neurologist would really know the answer to this question for sure.  If the cracking and clicking you noted is also associated with muscle spasm in the neck, it's possible that Botox may be an option.
 

As far as I know, BOTOX is not currently being used for neck pain. However, if your pain is associated with localized spasm of the muscle, it is not unreasonable to think that BOTOX might effectively relax this spasm thus reducing your pain. My recommendation is to consult with a local neurologist experienced in the use of BOTOX and proceed accordingly.

It is emerging that Botox may help severe, unremitting (not occasional) migraines. It has been known that Botox can help with a condition known as torticollis (a neck muscle spasm causing neck twisting). If you have chronic neck pain and suspect muscles might be involved, see a qualified and experienced neurologist or neurosurgeon to discuss whether Botox may be right for you.

Hi,

I think the most important thing is to see an neurologist or orthopaedic spine surgeon.  It sounds like you have seen and tried many treatments in the past.  The key is to isolate the cause of your pain via nerve conduction studies, CT or MRI.  If your problem is due to slipped or bulging disks I am not sure Botox will help you.  Botox generally only helps for neck pain if their is a muscle component of the pain.  I wilsh you the best of luck and with the specialists you choose to see.
