Medical Neurotoxin Therapy in Tacoma, WA

At Puget Sound Neurology, neurotoxin therapy is one of the core treatments we provide — not a side offering. Using purified neurotoxin injections (including Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Myobloc®, and Daxxify ®), our providers treat two of the conditions we see most often: Dystonia and chronic migraine. 

Because neurotoxin therapy requires precise knowledge of muscle and nerve anatomy, means your provider is evaluating your condition as a neurological diagnosis first, not just administering an injection.

Neurotoxin Therapy for Dystonia

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions, resulting in repetitive movements or abnormal postures. It can affect the neck (cervical dystonia), eyelids (blepharospasm), vocal cords, limbs, or other muscle groups. 

Neurotoxin injections are the only proven, first-line treatment for most forms of dystonia. 

By targeting the specific muscles involved in the abnormal contraction, neurotoxin therapy can reduce involuntary movement, ease pain, and improve posture and function — often significantly improving quality of life for patients with few other effective options. 

Good fit if you’re wondering: 

• What is dystonia, and is it treatable? 
• Why does my neck / eyelid / hand keep contracting involuntarily? 
• Are there alternatives to neurotoxin injections for dystonia? 

Neurotoxin Therapy for Chronic Migraine 

If you experience 15 or more headache days a month, with at least 8 of those being migraine days, neurotoxin therapy may help reduce the frequency and severity of your migraines. Botox is FDA-approved specifically for chronic migraine prevention in adults and works by blocking pain signals and calming overactive muscles in the head, neck, and shoulders. 

Good fit if you: 

• Have been diagnosed with chronic migraine 
• Have tried other prevention medications without success
• Are looking for a long-term prevention strategy, not just symptom relief 

Looking for Cosmetic or TMJ Treatment? 

Puget Sound Neurology also offers neurotoxin treatment for TMJ/jaw tension and cosmetic use (forehead lines, crow’s feet) through our Aesthetic Neurotoxin Services — a separate program from our medical neurotoxin therapy, with its own scheduling and billing.

Why Choose a Neurology Practice for Neurotoxin Therapy?

• Dosing and injection sites are determined by a neurological evaluation, not a standard cosmetic protocol 
• Our providers manage complex, chronic conditions — not just single-visit treatments 
• We can coordinate neurotoxin therapy alongside your broader neurological care plan
