How EMG Can Help Guide Therapeutic Botulinum Toxin Injections

Electromyography (EMG) can be used to help identify active muscles during selected therapeutic botulinum toxin treatments.

Why EMG Guidance Can Be Useful

For some therapeutic indications, EMG provides additional information about muscle activity and can help guide injection planning. EMG can help confirm the activity and location of selected muscles before injection. It is one tool that may improve targeting in appropriate cases; treatment response and adverse effects still vary.

Targeted Treatment for Various Conditions

EMG-guided Botox injections are especially beneficial for conditions like chronic migraines, muscle spasticity, and certain cosmetic applications. EMG findings can be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan when clinically appropriate.

How We Use EMG at Central Health
