Hi I’m 25 and I started having TMJ symptoms about 2 years ago. I attended some physical therapy and that helped but I still get knots and jaw pain occasionally. I’m curious about how effective Botox can be for tmj.

Answer: Botox and neuromodulators for TMJ Botox, Dysport and equivalent neuromodulators that relax the masseter muscle are quite effective at reducing the tension, pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The masseter is one of four muscles involved in chewing, and excess force exerted by the muscles exacerbates the issues caused by a dysfunctional joint. Treating the masseter with Botox will reduce this force, and thus effectively reduce the severity of symptoms.
