Webinar
Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) Injections in the Treatment of Hypertonic Pelvic Floor Muscles and Associated Pelvic Pain
Discussion with Tracy Sher
What can I expect?
Over the past 10+ years as Botox has become an emerging treatment for pelvic pain, Tracy has observed pelvic floor botox injections and assisted in the placement of botox injections. Now there is even more emerging research about Botox as an effective treatment for pelvic pain. In this webinar Tracy describes how and where the injections are administered, the mechanisms through which Botox treatment can be effective, and what kinds of people this treatment can help.

Upon completion of this webinar participants will:
- Understand the proposed mechanism of botulinum toxin A (Botox) injected into a hypertonic or shortened muscle.
