How Botulinum toxin injections can worsen neck instability and pain - a Prolotherapist's perspective

Ross Hauser, MD explains the answer to a common question we receive about botulinum toxin injections for headaches and whether or not we do them in our offices or recommend them to our patients. As he explains, botulinum toxin injections can worsen neck instability and pain which has the potential to worsen headaches, occipital neuralgia, and other symptoms associated with cervical spine instability. Because we are a Prolotherapy practice and try to help patients do what they can to strengthen and repair tissue, these are not something we use in our offices. If you have had good results with these injections, and your symptoms resolved and allowed you to get back to your full function, that's great. Please understand that we see many cases in our office that did not. Dr. Hauser is explaining why that happens.
