TheraTox Injections

TheraTox is a specialized treatment that uses neurotoxin, such as Botox®, to target and relieve pain-related conditions. By calming overactive nerves and muscles, it can help reduce chronic discomfort and improve mobility. This advanced approach is designed for patients seeking safe, non-surgical relief from persistent pain.

Every TheraTox treatment is customized to your unique needs, with the goal of restoring comfort, mobility, and a better quality of life. Our patients’ results speak for themselves: TheraTox at MD Cote is helping people throughout the Puget Sound live more freely, without being limited by pain.

MD Cote Team

Common TheraTox Areas

TheraTox is versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. Our team at MD Cote works closely with each patient to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses their unique needs. Here are some of the most common areas and conditions that can benefit from TheraTox:

  • Masseter Muscles
  • Joint Pain Relief
  • TMJ Relief
  • Neck/Shoulder Pain
  • Migraine Relief
  • Back Pain
  • Chronic Allergies
  • Muscle-Related Pain

HOW THERATOX WORKS

TheraTox works by using a purified neurotoxin, such as Botox®, to calm overactive nerves and muscles that contribute to pain. When injected into targeted areas, it reduces muscle tension and disrupts the nerve signals that trigger discomfort. This helps relax tight muscles, relieve pressure on joints, and decrease inflammation in the surrounding tissues. By addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms, TheraTox can provide lasting relief and improved mobility for patients struggling with chronic muscle or joint pain.

I have had the pleasure of spending time with Jenna over this past year as I have received a few coolsculpting treatments. Jenna is just a beautiful person inside and out. She is so gentle, kind and easy to connect with. By the time I am ready to leave, not only have I had the best Coolsculpting session (their equipment and expertise using it is top of the line), I feel like I’ve had a little therapy session as well😊 Thank You Jenna!!

The change in management has been disappointing to say the least. After years of coming here, I can no longer support a business that profits from shady policies and doesn’t honor their long-standing clients. There are far better options for med spas than this place. I highly recommend going elsewhere with higher standards, updated practices and customer loyalty.

I just had my very first facial ever, and I can honestly say it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire treatment was relaxing, professional, and surprisingly rejuvenating. Mya explained each step and the process. I will definitely be back soon! Thanks Mya!

Mya does an amazing job with the dermaplaning and the diamond glow facial. I leave the office feeling so much more confident with my glowy, smooth skin. I can't wait for my next appointment!

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent appointment I scheduled via email. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was informed that no appointment was on record and staff were unsure how this occurred. I had made arrangements and taken time off work specifically for this appointment, as I was very much looking forward to being seen. Given the inconvenience and lost time, I would appreciate discussing whether compensation for a portion of my time is possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Lyndsey is a master aesthetician! My skin has completely transformed since coming here. The BBL treatments for sun damage are incredible. I have been to other Aestheticians and did not get the results I am getting with Lyndsey 5 Stars!

Coolsculpting for entire days at a time, seemed more like a spa or vacation day, than a procedure day. Jenna was the best and most professional provider I have ever worked with.

Rachel is amazing and the absolute best. She has great recommendations, awesome bedside manner. She only recommends what will be the best for the client and I always trust her opinion and feel safe in her hands. The only improvement I wish- the waiting room is SO BRIGHT now 😩 I liked it before. The new super light pink paint and super bright LED’s kill the vibe.

This clinic is truly wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mya, Jenna, Lyndsey, Julia, and Dr. Cote, and they take the time to understand your goals, walk you through every option, and make sure you feel confident in your decisions. Their execution is so seamless and precise it almost feels unreal. Jessica and Michell are equally amazing—always greeting you with genuine warmth and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. The entire team is not only highly professional, but also makes you feel like you’re among friends. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about Theratox, its benefits, and what to expect during treatment.

Masseter Muscles (Jaw Pain/Teeth Grinding): TheraTox can be injected into the masseter muscles (located near the jaw) to relieve tension caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ disorders. This treatment helps reduce pain and can even contour the jawline for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Migraines: TheraTox is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines. By injecting the botulinum toxin into specific areas around the head and neck, TheraTox can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, providing relief to those who suffer from this debilitating condition.

Allergy Relief: TheraTox has been shown to offer relief for allergy symptoms by relaxing the muscles around the nasal passages and sinuses. This can reduce the discomfort caused by congestion, sneezing, and sinus pressure.

Joint Pain: TheraTox can be injected into targeted areas to relieve joint pain associated with conditions like arthritis. It helps relax the muscles surrounding the joints, reducing pain and improving mobility.

Plantar Fasciitis: For those suffering from plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, TheraTox can be injected into the affected area to relieve tension and provide lasting relief.

TrapTox (Trapezius Muscle Pain): TheraTox can also be used to alleviate tension and pain in the trapezius muscles (upper shoulders and neck), which are often the source of chronic neck and upper back pain.

TheraTox is ideal for individuals who suffer from chronic pain, muscle tension, or conditions that impact their daily life, such as:

  • Chronic migraines
  • TMJ disorders (teeth grinding, jaw clenching)
  • Muscle-related pain
  • Joint pain from conditions like arthritis
  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Neck and shoulder pain (TrapTox)

The best candidates are those who have not found relief with traditional treatments or who are looking for a non-invasive option to address their pain. TheraTox can be used on patients of all ages, provided they are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Most patients experience relief for 3–6 months, depending on the area treated and their individual response.

Relief is not immediate. Most patients start to notice improvement within 7–14 days, with full effects developing in 2–4 weeks.

There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities right away, with only mild soreness or redness at the injection site that resolves quickly.
