It is very common in people to experience headaches and migraines.
The persistent nature of such kind of pain can cause exhaustion and disability.
If you experience these for a long time, you may have to undergo steady, long-term treatment.
But worry not; there is also a treatment that provides effective relief in an instant.
There is a new revolutionary treatment that offers instant relief for migraines and headaches without using pills or injections.
The Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) nerve block uses a unique nasal applicator to safely and painlessly eliminate the pain.
Other than headaches and migraines, SPG nerve block has been providing successful relief to a variety of conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia and fibromyalgia.
SPG nerve block is a procedure that involves application of a topical anesthetic to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in the back of the sinus area.
The nasal applicator has a plastic delivery tube that is soft and flexible so that it can comfortably extend to the back of the nasal cavity and place the anesthetic liquid right where it should be applied.
It has a small flexible tip designed to help reduce irritation to the nasal lining.
In the nasal cavity, the anesthetic liquid is sprayed directly onto the group of SPG nerves.
Also known as nasal ganglion, the SPG nerve is an internal part of the head located behind the nose and sinus area and near the throat.
It is where neurons in the head are largely collected.
SPG is also covered by a thin layer of connective tissues and mucous membrane.
The nasal ganglion plays a role in causing pain associated with acute and cluster headaches, migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, facial pain and more due to such a wide reach that the nerves from SPG expand to.
SPG nerve block is being performed by placing the plastic tube of the nasal applicator through one or both the nostrils to apply the anesthetic.
The anesthetic then works on the ganglion area to relieve multiple head and facial pain conditions.
This procedure is done as an outpatient.
The SPG nerve block helps in eliminating pain from a variety of head and face conditions such as acute and cluster headaches, migraines, shingles, head and neck cancer pain, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, Sluder's neuralgia, vasomotor rhinitis, and atypical facial pain.
Studies show that SPG nerve block is an excellent treatment for acute and chronic facial and head pain.
In a 2009 study, SPG radiofrequency treatment had very high satisfactory results for patients with cluster headaches.
Other studies showed that the treatment worked excellently for head and neck cancer pain and for chronic vasomotor rhinitis.
It provided overwhelming relief and reduced the need for narcotic medication.
Obtaining relief for migraines and headaches is easy and need not to be painful.
For someone who wants to easily get rid of chronic headache or severe migraine, SPG nerve block may just be the answer.
This quick treatment needs no toxic medications.
With SPG nerve block it only takes few moments to resume your normal lifestyle and live pain-free for the rest of your life.
