The speaker explains that these injections can reduce muscle-related migraine tension and treat cervical dystonia by releasing cramped/overactive trapezius muscles. The short is promotional/educational, emphasizing practical clinical benefits for patients with habitual shoulder/neck tightness.

Chapters

If you're constantly having neck pain and upper shoulder pain, Botox can be a big game changer for you and why nobody ever offered it to you. You know, say, but I'm a board certified dermatologist and Botox in your trapezius muscle, AKA Trap talks, is one of the best treatments out there, especially if you're constantly holding your tension in your shoulders and the base of your neck. Why? Because of this muscle. This. When you inject this portion up here, you can help relieve a lot of tension, which can help in cases like migraines. By injecting Botox or any other neuromodul, your forehead, your temporal area of your scalp, the base of your scalp, as well as the upper portion of your neck and the trapezius muscle, you can relieve tension. It also comes in super handy in cervical dystonia when the muscle right here cramps up and all of a sudden you become hunched to one side. Or if you're unable to turn to one side, but you can turn to the other side, Botox in your traps can release that tension.
