At APICO Pain Management™, Dr. Rany Abdallah offers Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Block and Ablation to treat chronic facial pain, migraines, and cluster headaches. The SPG is a nerve bundle located behind the nose that plays a key role in headache and facial pain pathways.

Using a minimally invasive technique, Dr. Abdallah delivers local anesthetic—or uses radiofrequency ablation—to block or disrupt pain signals from the SPG. The procedure is quick, typically well-tolerated, and can provide immediate and lasting relief. SPG treatments at Apico offer a safe, targeted approach for patients seeking non-surgical relief from debilitating head and facial pain.
