Botulinum toxin infiltration is a medical procedure that consists of the controlled administration of this substance for therapeutic purposes. Its main effect is to produce a temporary and localized relaxation of the muscle on which it is applied, helping to reduce pain and improve function.
In the medical field, it is used for the treatment of various pathologies such as persistent muscle contractures, spasticity, bruxism, tension headaches or certain musculoskeletal disorders. By reducing muscle hyperactivity, functional balance is favored and associated symptoms are relieved.
The procedure is performed in consultation, through precise infiltrations in the muscles previously assessed. It is a safe technique when applied by a qualified health professional, after an individualized evaluation and with subsequent appropriate follow-up.
The effect is progressive and temporary, so the treatment may require periodic reviews depending on the patient's clinical evolution.
