Occipital Nerve Blocks

Occipital nerve blocks are a targeted treatment option for various types of headaches, particularly those originating from the back of the head and neck. Our specialists perform this minimally invasive procedure by injecting a combination of local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication around the greater and lesser occipital nerves. This can provide rapid relief from pain and inflammation, often resulting in significant reduction of headache symptoms.

The procedure is particularly effective for occipital neuralgia, certain types of migraines, and cervicogenic headaches. Many patients experience immediate relief that can last for weeks to months, and repeated treatments can lead to longer-term benefits.
