My glabellar muscles are always contracted. Is there an alternative treatment to botox?

jkreighbaum
This past month I have noticed that my glabellar muscles are always contracted! This is causing me a lot of discomfort and giving me headaches! I cant get them to relax! Is there anything that can be done for this before trying botox. I would like to try every other option first, just because with botox, it wears off and you have to keep it up. I just really want them to relax! Its uncomfortable and I don't want to have frown lines in the future!
