Endoscopic Botox Injection
A Minimally Invasive Option for Swallowing and Gut Motility Issues
If swallowing or tummy issues are making life tough, we can help. At South East Gastroenterology & Endoscopy clinic in Melbourne, an Endoscopic Botox Injection is a simple, non-surgical way to relax tight muscles in your digestive system. Let’s explain what it is, when it’s used, and how we make it easy for you.
What is an Endoscopic Botox Injection?
An Endoscopic Botox Injection uses a small camera (endoscope) to inject Botox (botulinum toxin) into specific spots in your oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, or other parts of the digestive tract. It’s a safe way to loosen overly tight muscles that cause problems like trouble swallowing or slow digestion.
Done as a day procedure in our Melbourne clinic, Endoscopic Botox Injection Melbourne helps you feel better without any cuts or stitches, and most people go home the same day.
