Traptox — Trapezius Treatment in Newcastle

The trapezius muscles run across your shoulders and up into your neck — and in many people, long desk hours, stress and posture leave them chronically overworked. Traptox uses botulinum toxin to relax overactive trapezius muscles, easing that persistent feeling of carrying tension in the shoulders.

About This Treatment

As the muscle settles, some patients also notice a subtle aesthetic change: the line from neck to shoulder appears longer and more defined. Whether your interest is comfort, appearance, or both, treatment begins with a doctor-led assessment of your symptoms, muscle bulk and medical history.

You'll receive honest advice on what Traptox can and can't achieve for your individual pattern of tension before any decision is made.

Is this you?
  • Persistent shoulder and upper-back tightness
  • Tension that builds through desk work or stress
  • Bulky trapezius muscles shortening the neckline
  • Tension headaches starting at the shoulders

Common Questions

Patients often ask…

Traptox refers to botulinum toxin treatment of the trapezius muscles — the large muscles running across the shoulders and up the neck. In patients whose trapezius is chronically overactive, often from desk work, stress or posture, treatment can ease tightness and the sensation of carrying tension in the shoulders.

Some patients also notice the neck-to-shoulder line appears longer and more defined as the muscle relaxes. Suitability depends on your symptoms, muscle bulk and medical history, all of which are assessed by the doctor at consultation.

  • May relieve shoulder tightness and tension in overactive trapezius muscles
  • Can subtly refine the neck and shoulder line in suitable patients
  • Doctor-led assessment of posture, symptoms and muscle activity first

Every patient should be assessed during consultation for suitability, expected outcome, possible side effects, aftercare, and realistic treatment planning. Results vary between patients.
