With the use of botox injections, muscles that are
in spasms are treated and spasms are temporarily reduced. Usually,
pain reduction follows as a result of the lack of muscle spasms.
However, the cause of the muscle spasms, which often times is muscle
imbalance, needs to be addressed. Surface EMG biofeedback is a perfect
tool that can be used for this purpose to maximize the outcome of
the botox injections. The Surface EMG Biofeedback System is the
latest computerized technology for analyzing and treating muscle
pain and dysfunction. This non-invasive method of assessment involves
attaching to the skin electrode pads, which are in turn connected
to the computer. With the information that is generated by the assessment,
a detailed treatment plan can be made that is tailored to your specific
needs. Muscle weakness, tightness and faulty movement patterns can
all be corrected during the treatment sessions. This will be achieved
using surface EMG technology as a means of direct feedback that
will allow you to visualize your own muscle function on the computer
screen with audio feedback. With the use of surface EMG biofeedback,
normal muscle movement pattern is restored. This will prevent future
recurrence of abnormal muscle spasms. Therefore, serving as the
ideal adjunct to botox injections.
