No More Migraines!

No More Migraines!

WORTH IT
I am a health care professional who suffered from frequent headaches and severe migraines until I started Botox treatment of my chewing muscles with Dr. Yew. I have always worn clear retainers at night to serve as a guard against my strong clenching habit and would always carry my prescription migraine medication with me but that wasn’t enough. I needed to address the clenching muscles directly. Dr. Yew was very thorough with his evaluation and explained how the Botox treatment would help to reduce my migraines by relaxing the chewing muscles that are associated with my clenching habit. The Botox procedure takes less than 5 minutes and is completely painless. I am happy to say that I no longer feel the need to carry my prescription migraine medication and have been migraine free for over 8 months. Such a blessing and definitely life changing. Thank you Dr. Yew! :)

Thank you for sharing your TMJ experience. Coming from a health care professional (dentist) - this means a great deal. Botox works well if placed in both masseters and temporalis muscles for optimal effect. Unfortunately - most BTX injectors only know how to do the masseters. Conversely - the neurologists only know how to do temporalis and not masseters! At our practice - we have found an affordable and effective way to treat both areas. As a result - our patients have had significant headache relief and are off their prescription pain meds! We still recommend for patients to use a mouth guard and consult their dentists for protecting the teeth and joint. I'm so glad that you are feeling better!
