Botox®, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet near the eyes, and wrinkles and bands in the neck.
Trigger point injections are a safe and very effective remedy for painful muscles around the neck, shoulders, and back. A small needle is inserted into the muscle and releases the "knot," an action which usually leads to lasting relief for up to 2 months. It can be thought of as a very strong massage.
