In addition to chiropractic care, Columbus Physical Medicine offers a cutting edge, effective, painless, safe treatment option. Most headache and facial pain is controlled by a group of nerves called the Sphenopalatine Ganglion located at the back of the nasal cavity. The Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) nerve block uses a unique nasal applicator to significantly reduce pain. While not always, necessary, we have advanced imaging available to ensure the placement of the block.
It takes less than a minute to perform and provides instant relief. Most patients see results within seconds. Studies have shown this procedure provides overwhelming comfort and decreases the demand for narcotic medicine. While not always, necessary, we have advanced imaging available to ensure the placement of the block.
Aside from chronic headaches and migraines, an SPG nerve block can provide successful relief for a variety of conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headaches and fibromyalgia. It has even been used to relieve pain caused by shingles, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, Sluder’s neuralgia, vasomotor rhinitis, head and neck cancer pain, and atypical facial pain. Acquiring pain relief for migraines and headaches is simple. It’s fast, effective, and free of harmful drugs.
