Migraine headaches are a severe problem for many people. They can be extremely debilitating and interfere with daily activities. If you suffer from migraines, you know how important it is to find a treatment that works.
SPG block is a new and promising treatment for migraines that is highly effective for many people. This treatment involves the application of a simple and painless anesthetic to target the sphenopalatine ganglion, which is thought to be responsible for migraines in some people. If you suffer from regular migraines, contact us today at (425) 329-3142 to discover your treatment options.
The Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG)
SPG is a small cluster of nerves located behind the nose. It has long been thought that this cluster of nerves is responsible for migraines in some people. When the anesthetic is applied to this area, it effectively blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief from migraines.
How Does It Work?
The SPG block is not an injection, although the anesthetic is applied using a soft, flexible rubber catheter tube inserted into the nostril. The entire procedure is minimally invasive, takes a few minutes, and is typically painless. Once the anesthetic has been applied, you will likely experience relief from your migraines within minutes.
SPG Block Benefits
SPG Blocks are a safe and effective way to treat migraines, with few side effects. Because the anesthetic is only applied to a small area, there is minimal risk of any systemic side effects. SPG Blocks are also relatively affordable, especially compared to other migraine treatments such as heavy medication or surgery.
