Reduce jaw muscle pain (TMJ), joint pain, and spastic muscle pain. Chronic pain can restrict movement and interfere with daily enjoyment and activity levels. Studies show that Botox therapy helps relieve joint or muscle pain associated with TMJ, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries. It also improves joint function, allowing for greater mobility. Clinical trials have shown reductions in pain symptoms and increases in functional movement, lasting up to 6 months post-treatment, depending on the area treated.

What is TMJ?

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) occurs when the masseter muscle, responsible for chewing, becomes overworked. This can lead to chronic jaw pain and even a square-shaped face due to muscle buildup. Joint and muscle pain can affect anyone at any stage of life but is particularly common among seniors, post-menopausal women, and sports enthusiasts such as runners or cyclists.

How Does TMJ-Related Muscle Tension Work?

TMJ-related discomfort is often associated with overactivity of the jaw muscles, which can contribute to tension, clenching, and restricted movement. Botulinum toxin works by temporarily reducing muscle activity through blocking the release of specific neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction. When administered under appropriate medical supervision, it may help decrease excessive muscle contraction and support improved jaw comfort and function. In some cases, relaxing enlarged jaw muscles may also contribute to a softer lower-face contour over time, with both functional and aesthetic considerations addressed during your medical assessment.

Learn More About Botox Therapeutic in Our FAQ’s

Botox is a biologic neuromuscular blocking agent that is injected into a targeted area to relax the muscle and reduce the muscle contraction responsible for pain. In the case of sports injuries where one muscle is overworked (common in runners and cyclists), a Botox injection will relax those muscles, and adjacent muscles that were underutilized will become stronger.

Studies indicate that Botox Therapeutic may reduce pain for up to 6 months post treatment—but actually longevity will be determined by the treatment area and individual physiology.

Botox has been used in medical applications for over 30 years, and is one of the most extensively researched medicines on the market. As with all medicine, there are contraindications regarding who is a good candidate. Please book an appointment with one of our EverYoung physicians to find out if this treatment is right for you.

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily reducing overactivity in targeted jaw muscles through blocking the release of specific neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, which may help decrease excessive clenching, muscle tension, and associated discomfort while improving overall jaw function when performed under medical supervision.
Results typically last between 3 to 6 months depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area, and maintenance sessions may be recommended based on individual response and clinical assessment.
Some patients notice reduced jaw tension within a few days, while full effects are generally experienced within 1 to 2 weeks as the muscle activity gradually decreases.
Botulinum toxin has been used in medical practice for decades and is considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional, although candidacy must be determined through proper medical evaluation.
In some individuals with enlarged or overactive jaw muscles, relaxing the masseter muscles may gradually create a softer lower-face contour over time, though aesthetic outcomes vary from person to person.
The number of units required depends on muscle size, severity of clenching, and individual treatment goals, and will be determined during your medical consultation.
When properly dosed and placed, treatment is designed to reduce excessive muscle activity without significantly affecting normal chewing or speech function.
Treatment intervals vary, but many patients choose maintenance sessions every few months depending on how their muscles respond and whether symptoms gradually return.
In appropriate cases, therapeutic jaw treatment may be combined with aesthetic neuromodulator treatments to address both functional concerns and facial contouring goals during the same session.
Individuals experiencing jaw tension, clenching, grinding, or discomfort related to muscle overactivity may be candidates, and suitability will be determined through a comprehensive medical assessment.
