Migraine sufferers receive immediate relief from debilitating pain when Dr. Buck uses a Sphenopalatine Ganglion block (or SPG block) to treat their migraine headaches. By simply and painlessly applying an anesthetic to the Sphenopalatine Ganglion, a cluster of nerves at the back of the nose. The SPG block is not an injection, although the anesthetic is applied using a soft, flexible rubber catheter tube inserted into the nostril.

Migraine pain is immediately relieved when the anesthetic numbs the targeted ganglion. This occurs because the SPG block directly affects the trigeminal central sensory nucleus in the brain which is the key to migraines. In addition to the immediate relief from pain, the SPG block can last up to three months, assuring chronic sufferers of migraines long, pain-free periods.

Do you suffer from migraines or do you know someone who does? The next time a migraine headache threatens to ruin your day or week, contact Dr. Buck for the brief, easy procedure that will instantly offer relief.
