Medicinal Botox Treatment Options in Lima, Ohio
(Chronic Migrane • Spasticity • Cervical Dystonia)

Medicinal Botox injections are used to reduce abnormal muscle activity, relieve pain, and improve function in specific neurologic and neuromuscular conditions. These treatments are performed by Dr. Xavier DiSabato, DO at Physical Medicine Associates of NW Ohio in Lima, OH, and are available for chronic migraine, cervical dystonia, and spasticity—typically after completing a prior authorization.
 

Botox Injections for Chronic Migraine

Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine and may be recommended for patients who experience:

• Headaches on 15 or more days per month, with at least 8 being migraine-type

• Limited or partial relief from standard preventive medications

• Significant impact on daily activities, work, or overall quality of life
   

The injection pattern targets specific muscles in the head, neck, and shoulders to help reduce migraine frequency and severity over time.

​

Botox Treatment for Cervical Dystonia

Botox is a first-line treatment for cervical dystonia and may be appropriate when patients experience:

• Involuntary neck turning, tilting, or pulling

• Sustained or repetitive neck muscle contractions

• Associated pain, stiffness, or restricted motion
   

Injections help reduce overactivity in targeted muscles, improving posture, comfort, and functional movement.

​

Botox for Spasticity

Botox can help manage focal or segmental spasticity related to conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or other neurologic disorders. It may be recommended when patients experience:

• Increased muscle tone that limits comfortable or efficient movement

• Difficulty with functional tasks due to tight or overactive muscles

• Pain or discomfort from involuntary muscle activity
   

Treatment is tailored to the specific muscle groups involved and individualized to support functional goals.
 

What to Expect

• Injections are performed in a single outpatient visit

• Initial improvement is often noticed within 7–14 days

• Maximum effect typically develops over 4–6 weeks

• Results generally last about 12 weeks, after which repeat treatment may be recommended

It is offered exclusively at our Lima, Ohio location for chronic migraine, cervical dystonia, and spasticity.
