Tox treatment offers relief for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues by targeting the muscles involved in jaw movement. Injecting Tox into these muscles helps alleviate pain and tension associated with TMJ disorders by reducing muscle activity. This treatment approach can provide significant relief from TMJ symptoms, improving jaw function.
Recommended treatment timing is every 3 to 4 months to maintain optimal results.
