Injection Therapy

INJECTION THERAPIES

The doctors supported by Northern Neuroscience offer specialised injection therapy treatments to manage a range of neurological conditions. The highly skilled practitioners we support utilise these therapies to provide relief from symptoms and improve the quality of life for their patients.

 

What are Injection Therapy Treatments?

Injection therapy treatments are used to temporarily reduce muscle activity.  They work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, leading to relaxation and reduction of muscle contractions.  This treatment is effective for various medical conditions and is administered through carefully targeted injections.

  • Chronic migraine
  • Chronic neck Pain
  • Spasticity (muscle stiffness)
  • Dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions)
