Can physiotherapists do injections of any/some kind?

    You know how nurses often do routine injections - mostly botox from chronic migraine.

    Anyone know if a physio - someone who understands anatomy to an expert degree, could do any add on or additional courses so they could admin something like botox or fillers?

    Any peripheral info?

    Apparently it's used extensively by physio's with speciality in neurology, for muscle spasticity so, perhaps they could do some botox filler on the side?

    Never heard of nurses doing injections for migraines, only aware of anaesthetics doing these. Was this in Ireland?

    Similarly for spasticity, only heard of neurologists/rehabilitation specialists doing these.
