headstrong,

It appears you may be taking much of this out of context. Reading too many articles online can cause one to over-emphasize a simple comment.

When an article says 'up to 1,000 times more effectively,' it means just that. But more likely, it could accurately say, "Up to 10 times more effectively but in extreme rare circumstances, up to 1000 times more effectively."

Research is often done to find the most common occurrences but it is the extremes of a condition that get the head lines and may result in an article getting published.

The article you referred to is self-published by a chiropractor. As knowledgeable as he may be, he fails to cite any sources of his claims. He also appear to over emphasize his own abilities. Good articles will have a long list of footnotes and bibliography. Dr. Schleiring does not appear in the medical literature that i could find. The gold standard is called peer reviewed. This mean the authors research and statements have been review by other experts in the field. It does no appear he has had such a review.

All to say, go lightly with this information.

The doc who did the Botox injections has likely done it many times before with success. Your pain may have nothing to do with the comments in the article.
