Radiologist

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Botulinum Toxin Type a (Botox), is a chemical from an organism that causes botulism.  Botulism can be a fatal disorder that causes paralysis of the muscles.  The medical toxin being used however is several thousand times diluted and will not cause this generalized type of reaction and is therefore safe.  The toxin relaxes the muscle by preventing the release of a substance called Acetylcholine from the nerve endings.  It is this substance that causes the muscles to contract or remain taut, thus without acetylcholine, the muscles cannot tighten up.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  While there are several medical procedures to combat this condition, facet joint blocks are a great option if physical therapy and pain medication prove unsuccessful.
