NEUROMODULATOR (BOTOX/DYSPORT) Treatment for CHRONIC HEADACHES / MIGRAINES
At Axon Medical & Aesthetics Saskatoon, Sk we offer clinically proven NEUROMODULATOR (BOTOX/DYSPORT) treatment for clients suffering from Chronic Headaches/Migraines.
Over 4 million adults suffer from chronic migraines, experiencing at least 15 headache days per month. Much more than a headache, a migraine is a collection of neurological symptoms that can be incapacitating. This condition is marked as the sixth most debilitating condition globally. Chronic migraines are associated with significant disability and reduced health-related quality of life. Patients with chronic migraines are less likely to attend social events, and perform household or work duties compared to those with episodic tension-type headaches. If you are 18 years of age or older Neuromodulator Injections may bring you some relief.
