TheraTox Injections

TheraTox is a specialized treatment that uses neurotoxin, such as Botox®, to target and relieve pain-related conditions.

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.

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!

I just received the diamond glow facial from MD cote. It was my first facial. I loved the experience. I felt pampered as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone is so warm and professional. My esthetician listened to my skin concerns and recommended that we start with hydration and work our way up to microdermabrasion and different serums in the future because it was my first. I appreciated the questionnaire that asked about my skin tone and sun sensitivity. Jenna was warm, friendly and had a natural flow of conversation. I felt very comfortable with her. My skin looked amazing afterwards and my pores were so clear! (she even showed me all the gunk that came out at the end haha) highly recommend getting your facials here.

I've been coming here for a few years now. Started with Botox then other services like facials and fillers. The entire team is always professional, patient and courteous. They all work together like a well oiled machine. I've been pleased with EVERYTHING. The establishment is top-notch. It's not the highest but not the lowest but reasonable. Scheduling is easy.Happy customer so far. The main thing i have been pleased with over the years is... 1. They dont do hard up sells. 2. Dr. Vote and the staff listen. I had photos of what I like and dont like and it was 100% what i wanted. Its your face. Its important to be heard. I would highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

I am extremely happy with the services I received. I was listened to and given all the information on each procedure I was interested in. I like how Dr. Cote' asked me what I wanted improved, she didn't tell me what I needed. Lyndsey is also great. She explained what real results I could see and what to expect. They also let you know the cost of each procedure ahead of time. All the staff members are professional and welcoming.

I purchased a BBL package while it was on sale in December 2023. I used one treatment shortly after, then my second in October 2024. When I went to schedule my final appointment, I was told my package had expired six months after purchase — based on an agreement I supposedly signed five years ago. Not once during my visits was I ever informed that there was an expiration, nor was this policy clearly explained when I purchased the package. These treatments are not cheap, and I would have never spent that kind of money had I known the sessions would expire so quickly. It’s extremely disappointing that they won’t honor what was clearly a communication mistake on their end. I’m out the money, and the company isn’t taking responsibility — very unprofessional and not what I expected from a business in this industry.

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.
