Prolotherapy, Botox®, and Headaches
Modern medicine has resorted to injecting a known toxin into the muscles of the face/neck/head to help patients get rid of headaches. Their headaches may diminish but the paralysis caused by the botulism toxin weakens the muscles.
 

One fact I can say for certain is that chronic headaches are not a botulism (BOTOX®) deficiency. The botulinum toxin is very expensive, and provides only temporary results.
 

At best the toxin paralyzes the muscles for about three months, so the person gets some symptomatic relief for that period, but then will require continued BOTOX® injections to help maintain the pain relief.

Chronic muscular headaches are not due to the muscles being too tight. If this was the case all one would have to do is get massage or do some stretching of the muscles of the neck and the headaches would be cured. Very seldom does massage therapy cure someone of chronic headaches. In contrast,
Prolotherapy often cures people of chronic headaches. Why is this the case?
 

Chronic muscular headaches, myofascial pain syndrome of the neck and head, and fibromyalgia of the head and neck all have as part of their conditions chronic muscle spasms. Why do muscles spasm ? They spasm because either they were injured or they are trying to stabilize the joints that they move.

The body desires stability. When the underlying neck ligaments are stretched or weakened, the overlying muscles go into spasm. When these ligaments are strengthened by Prolotherapy, the chronic muscle spasms stop because the muscles no longer have to stabilize the underlying joints. Hopefully, in the future people will understand that instead of asking for poison (BOTOX®) for their headaches they will ask for Prolo.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
