Excessive Sweating, Teeth Grinding & Migraines

Did you know that muscle relaxants can be used to treat a variety of conditions beyond just cosmetic concerns?

Plastic Surgeon, Mr Ian Holten (MED0001130662) MBBS MD FRACS FRCS (Plast) Lon, has successfully treated patients for these conditions with medical based muscle relaxant treatments:

• Hypohidrosis (excessive sweating)
• TMJ (Teeth Grinding)
• Migraines / headaches

Hypohidrosis 

Hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that can affect various parts of the body such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face.

This condition can be particularly distressing, impacting daily activities, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Symptoms include constant wetness, noticeable sweating through clothing, and an increased risk of skin infections due to the moist environment.

Muscle relaxants may be used to reduce sweating by blocking the nerve signals responsible for stimulating sweat glands, providing significant relief and enhancing confidence.

Teeth Grinding

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) involves pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Symptoms can include jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty chewing.

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is often a contributing factor and can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, and disrupted sleep.

Muscle relaxants may assist to alleviate TMJ symptoms by relaxing the jaw muscles, reducing clenching and grinding, and providing relief from pain and discomfort. This treatment can greatly improve sleep quality, reduce dental issues, and enhance overall well-being.

Migraines / Headaches

Migraines are severe headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

They can last for hours or even days, severely affecting one’s ability to function and enjoy life. Chronic migraines can lead to frequent absenteeism from work or school and can significantly impair daily activities.

Muscle relaxants may be used as a preventive treatment for migraines by relaxing the muscles and reducing the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks.

This treatment may be life-changing for many patients, allowing them to regain control over their lives and reduce the burden of chronic headaches.
