Botox injection for stiff shoulders
For chronic painful stiff shoulders
Botox for stiff shoulders is a treatment in which Botox (botulinum toxin) is injected into the trapezius muscle to suppress excessive muscle tension. By relaxing muscle contractions, it is expected to reduce stiff shoulders and improve shoulder tension. This treatment is also effective for those who suffer from stubborn stiff shoulders that are difficult to improve with massage or compresses.
Painless Botox (for those who are worried about the pain of the procedure)
At Elm Clinic, we cool the injection site and mix anesthetic into the Botox to minimize the pain of the injection. If you are worried about the pain of the needle, we can also use topical anesthesia, which will allow you to undergo the treatment with almost no pain.
We also use a vibrating pen at some clinics, so please feel free to ask us about it.
Regarding the application of anesthesia:The technique of mixing anesthetic with Botox before injection is widely used for purposes such as "pain reduction" and "controlling diffusion." It does not affect the duration or final result of Botox's original effects, such as "improving wrinkles" and "relaxing muscle function."
If you are sensitive to pain or would like to receive treatment in a relaxed environment, please feel free to discuss this with us during your consultation.

What is "Botox injection for stiff shoulders"?
Botox injections for stiff shoulders are a procedure in which botulinum toxin is injected to relieve excessive tension in the trapezius muscle, which causes stiff shoulders. Stiff shoulders occur when muscles become stiff and blood flow deteriorates due to long hours of desk work, using a smartphone, or poor posture. Stiff shoulders can also be caused by lack of exercise or mental stress.
Botox has the effect of suppressing muscle contraction, so this effect is used to prevent excessive tension in the shoulder muscles. The treatment time is short, about 10 to 15 minutes, and there is almost no downtime, making it easy for even busy people to receive.
Effect of Botox on stiff shoulders
When Botox is injected directly into the trapezius muscle of the shoulder, it relaxes the shoulder muscle in the injected area, relieving muscle tension, improving blood circulation and relieving stiff shoulders. The effects do not appear immediately after the treatment, but rather the muscles gradually relax over a period of about one week after the injection, and you will begin to feel lighter in your shoulders. Although it varies from person to person, the effects last for 1 to 3 months, and regular treatments can help relieve chronic stiff shoulders.
In addition, the action of Botox reduces tension in the trapezius muscles, making the shoulder line look neater and improving posture. It is especially suitable for those who are concerned about shoulder tension caused by muscle development.

Downtime, side effects and precautions for Botox injections for stiff shoulders
Botox for stiff shoulders is a treatment to relieve excessive tension in the trapezius muscle, and there is relatively little downtime, but you may experience internal bleeding, slight pain, and swelling at the injection site. It usually lasts for a few days to a week, and the internal bleeding will subside naturally within about two weeks.
You may feel a temporary weakening of the muscles around your shoulders, but it is rare for this to cause any major problems in your daily life. However, people who rely heavily on their shoulders for a lot of movements (such as carrying heavy loads) should be careful.
