What is SphenoCath?

SphenoCath therapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to deliver topical anaesthetic to the sphenopalatine ganglion, a key nerve cluster involved in chronic headache and facial pain. This treatment has shown promising results for migraines and cluster headaches. Studies published in Pain Physician demonstrate significant reductions in headache intensity following SPG block therapy.

The procedure is quick, well-tolerated, and avoids systemic medication side effects. Research in Headache supports its use in refractory headache cases. One study notes:

“Sphenopalatine ganglion block provides rapid and sustained headache relief in selected patients.”

This therapy offers fast-acting relief for chronic pain sufferers. Call today

After years of clenching & grinding my teeth in my sleep, even breaking a few, I have found relief with a sleep apnea appliance from TMJ! I now wake up refreshed and happy with improvement continuing. Thank you! The staff are all wonderful - kind and professional.

Medication & Surgery

Why Traditional Methods Fail

  • Medication Side Effects
    Prescription drugs can cause drowsiness, dependency, or only short-term relief
  • Ineffective Devices
    Standard dental guards may protect teeth but don’t calm nerve overactivity
  • Surgical Risks
    Invasive procedures carry risks and may not provide consistent results
  • Recurring Pain
    Symptoms often return because the root neurological cause remains untreated
