Chapters

However, you have a lot of fat on your shoulders and your upper back, you're not going to see a difference because fat is unaffected by any sort of toxin. In terms of how much you pay for a one time fee for Botox, it's probably going to be anywhere from 1,000 to $2,000 total. But when you think of the cost of time taken out of your life to go to a physical therapist every week in order to fix a problem over time, that ends up costing a lot more in the long run. But don't get me wrong, this doesn't replace what a physical therapist does. What it does do is make your sessions with your physical therapist much more efficient for you to achieve your end goal so that you don't have to spend as much time to getting to the baseline that the Botox will get you to.
