The treatment significantly improves or resolves the migraine in over 75% of patients, and the effect typically lasts for 3-4 months.
It’s a safe and easy method of migraine relief that takes less than 10 minutes and has no recovery afterwards. It doesn’t involve any needles and is covered by insurance. In addition, we take most insurances, including government-sponsored plans. For more information on SPG block call 770-953-2600 today or make an appointment online.
