Guide To Treating And Preventing Yips

Botox Injection

A botox injection can sometimes help with the yips as well. During this procedure, a doctor will inject onabotulinumtoxin A into whatever muscles are overacting and causing the yips. This helps limit involuntary contractions of the muscles, which means patients will experience fewer spasms and twitches. Botox injections tend to be helpful for patients whose condition is caused by an underlying neurological issue. Dystonia causes muscles to twitch involuntarily. Botox has been used to offer temporary alleviation of other types of dystonia by paralyzing the affected muscle. However, this type of treatment isn't perfect yet. If the dosage is too high, it might cause weakness in the muscles and lower overall functioning. Additionally, patients who have too-high doses the first time may require a second injection.
