How Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Toxin Injection is performed
When conditions permit, ultrasound is used to locate the thickened or tense area of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A common practice is to differentiate blood vessels and nerves under real-time imaging, and then inject a low dose of botulinum toxin in divided doses to reduce muscle tone. The process is often completed in the outpatient clinic, with monitoring of vital signs. Postoperative observation includes swallowing and neck function, combined with stretching and posture training to improve alignment. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
