FEATURE — If you are among the millions of Americans that suffer from migraines every day then you know how debilitating and brutal the symptoms can be.
Most often caused by stress, migraines are an incurable neurological condition that usually affects people between the ages of 15 and 55 with a family history of disabling headaches and are found to affect three times as many women than men. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 4 women will suffer from a migraine at some point in their lives.
See how Dr. Plumb’s office can help you find relief from debilitating migraines in the Ask a Local Expert video in the media player above.
The severe throbbing and pounding pain on one or both sides of the head can drive a person to the point of madness and when other methods offer no comfort, many people are now finding relief with Botox injections.
“Imagine being headache free without taking a bunch of pills,” Dr. William Plumb of Plumb Dental said. Some of his patients that suffer from migraines have had to take medications that make them feel like they’re in a fog or underwater.
Botox has been used for decades for treating fine lines and wrinkles but in recent years physicians have seen a dramatic decrease in headaches among their patients following the procedure. In 2010, the treatment was approved by the Food and Drug Administration and since has become one of the best ways to treat chronic migraines.
Treatments are almost completely painless and the entire process can be done by Plumb in just about 15 minutes and patients will see noticeable results within two weeks that can last for up to three months.
For more information on how Plumb can demonstrate the health benefits of Botox or to make an appointment, call Plumb Dental at 435-673-9606 or visit their website.
