Botox® for Low Back Pain

 Print This Post

In a study out of Kuwait 8 patients with severe chronic low back pain were injected into the lumbar Para-spinal muscles (the low back muscles on either side of the spinal canal) three sites were injected. 63% had remarkable recovery in both muscle spasm and pain relief, and 25% had improvement only in muscle spasm. The effect was still working after 30 days. The conclusion was that this is an easy procedure, well tolerated, virtually no side effects and does not require either expensive or invasive procedures.
