What Is an Occipital Nerve Block?
An Occipital Nerve Block is a targeted injection of a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication into the area around the occipital nerves, which run from the base of the skull to the scalp. This treatment is designed to reduce nerve inflammation, block pain signals, and provide relief from chronic headaches and nerve pain.

Occipital Neuralgia
A condition causing severe, stabbing pain in the back of the head and neck
Chronic Migraines
Persistent migraines that occur 15 or more days per month
Tension Headaches
