Medical Botox

Botox is a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum which weakens muscles by blocking nerve impulses transmitted from the nerve endings of the muscles. It is often used cosmetically to improve the appearance of crows feet and frown lines (refer to “Aesthetic Services” section.) Botox is also used for a number of medical conditions commonly treated by Dr. Sadik including:

• Hyperhidrosis: a condition of excessive sweating (http://www.botoxseveresweating.com/)
• Blepharospasm: a condition involuntary spasms of the muscles around the eye, resulting in uncontrolled blinking, narrowing, and even closing of the eyelid (http://www.botoxblepharospasm.com/)
• Cervical Dystonia: occurs when the muscles in your neck tighten or spasm without your control which may cause your head may turn in an unusual way, or it may be forced into an abnormal, uncomfortable position. (http://www.botoxcervicaldystonia.com/)
• Chronic Migraine (http://www.botoxchronicmigraine.com/)
• Strabismus: Is a visual defect that results when the eyes do not properly align with each other. One eye may look straight ahead but the other may turn in (“crossed eyes”), out, upward, or downward. (http://www.allergan.com/treatments/neurosciences/strabismus.htm)
• Upper limb spasticity: excessive muscle stiffness in the elbow, wrist, or fingers (http://www.botoxuls.com/)
