Migraine Treatment

Don’t let chronic migraines or debilitating headaches control your daily life—find relief and reclaim your days with Southern NH Health. 

Take Back Control from Chronic Migraines and Headaches 

At Southern NH Health, we offer an innovative, clinically proven solution to reduce or even eliminate headache-related pain: Sphenopalatine Neuromodulation (SPG block). This cutting-edge treatment can provide lasting relief for various types of headaches, including: 

  • Migraines 
  • Spinal headaches 
  • Sinus and cluster headaches 
  • And more 

How Does the SPG Block Work?

Headaches often involve overactivity in the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), a cluster of nerves located at the back of your nasal cavity. When overstimulated, the SPG can exacerbate headache symptoms. The SPG block works by temporarily disrupting these nerve signals, significantly reducing facial pain and headache symptoms. 

The Procedure: Quick, Needle-Free, and Effective 

The SPG block is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure designed with your comfort in mind. Here’s what to expect: 

  • Preparation: A numbing anesthetic spray is applied in each nostril. 
  • Guided Placement: Using an x-ray machine (fluoroscope), a thin, soft tube is carefully inserted into the nostril. 
  • Medication Delivery: A small amount of concentrated medication (xylocaine) is administered to block the SPG. 

The procedure takes just 15–20 minutes. No needles, no sedation, and no downtime—patients can return to their day immediately after treatment. 

Results You Can Count On 

  • Significant Relief:
    Up to 80% of patients experience substantial improvement. 
  • Rapid Results:
    Two-thirds of patients see complete or near-complete symptom resolution within 24 hours. 
  • Long-Term Benefits:
    Many patients report decreased dependence on medication, with 50% maintaining improvement for three months or more. 
  • Repeatable Relief:
    If effective, the procedure can be repeated for additional long-term benefits. 


Is the SPG Block Right for You? 

A provider referral is required to determine if the SPG block is the best treatment for your headaches. Coverage may vary by insurance, so be sure to confirm with your provider. 

What our patients are saying...

I feel free! I've had headaches since I was a teenager. They used to last all day and made me feel unproductive. After the procedure, I stopped worrying about when the next migraine would hit. It’s life-changing!

What our patients are saying...

It’s been months since my last migraine! After treatment, I didn’t have any migraines for four months. When they came back, they were less severe and shorter. I hardly need medication anymore. It’s a huge relief.
