Will Botox work for headaches caused by hyperactive trapezius muscles?

Inventive556193Oct 23, 2021
My upper trapezius muscles that spasm constantly, which causes pain and hypertrophy. I work really hard on my body but there doesn’t seem to be much I can do about these (please don’t tell me to see a trainer; I AM a trainer and I’ve researched this extensively). I had 50 units of Botox (1:1) per side a month ago. I don’t think it is helping, and I would like to get the trapezius resection surgery. Are there any doctors near Vancouver who do this? Or do I need 10k worth of Botox?

Yes it definitely can. Hormonal migraines affect many women who are taking hormonal medications or going through menopause or PMS. In such cases, Botox treatment has been identified as a solution for women who are suffering from chronic migraines associated with hormones.
