How do they use it medicine?

Botulinum toxin has been used since the 1970s to treat neuromuscular disorders, by injecting it into the affected muscles. It is considered a safe and effective treatment for a variety of muscle-related disorders, including facial wrinkles, cervical dystonia, and chronic migraines.

I have heard of it for wrinkles and migraines. Are you sure it has been around since the 1970's though? That seems early.
