TMJ Dysfunction / Migraines

✨ Botox & Neuromodulators – Beyond Aesthetics

At MedCAiRE Health, we offer neuromodulator treatments (Botox® and other approved formulations) not only for wrinkle relaxation but also as part of a functional and integrative approach to pain relief and muscle tension disorders.

Our trained medical professionals use neuromodulators therapeutically for conditions such as:

• Chronic migraines
• TMJ dysfunction & masseter muscle pain
• Bruxism (teeth grinding)
• Neck and facial tension
• Facial asymmetry caused by muscle imbalance

💉 Cost: $11 per unit (administered by licensed health professionals)

🧠 Therapeutic Botox for Chronic Migraines

Chronic migraines affect millions, leading to debilitating pain, light sensitivity, nausea, and disruptions to daily life. For patients experiencing 15 or more headache days per month, therapeutic Botox is a Health Canada–approved and clinically proven treatment.

⚙️ How It Works

Botox is injected into specific areas of the head, neck, and shoulders to block pain transmission and reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. It targets neuromuscular junctions, calming the overactive pain pathways involved in migraine syndromes.

⭐ Key Benefits

• Decreases headache frequency and intensity
• Improves quality of life and energy
• May reduce the need for daily oral medications
• Performed in less than 30 minutes with no downtime
• Results last approximately 3–4 months

💵 Cost Estimate

• Typical migraine protocol requires 155–195 units per treatment cycle
• Total cost ranges from $1,705–$2,145 per session
• Treatments are repeated every 12–16 weeks

📝 Note: Some extended healthcare plans may reimburse therapeutic Botox for migraines with proper documentation

😬 Botox for TMJ Dysfunction & Masseter Pain

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and masseter hypertrophy or tension can lead to:

• Jaw pain and tightness
• Headaches and facial tension
• Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Jaw clicking or limited range of motion

Injecting neuromodulators into the masseter muscles (and sometimes temporalis) helps relax overactive muscles, relieve pain, and reduce destructive grinding patterns—without affecting your ability to speak or chew normally.

⚙️ Process & Effect

• Injections take less than 15 minutes
• Minimal discomfort (we use fine needles and optional ice or topical anesthetic)
• Relief typically begins within 7–10 days
• Results last approximately 3–4 months

⭐ Functional Benefits

• Reduces clenching/grinding that damages teeth and jaw structures
• Improves TMJ range of motion
• Eases chronic jaw, head, and neck pain
• Helps reshape bulky jawline caused by overuse or muscle tension

💵 Cost Estimate

• Most cases require 30–50 units depending on severity
• Total treatment cost: $330–$550
• Repeat every 4–6 months for sustained benefit
