Greater Occipital Nerve Block is a simple procedure used to treat headaches that originate from the back of the head, including Migraine, Occipital Neuralgia, Cervicogenic Headache, Medication Overuse Headaches, and sometimes even the non-specific headaches.
A small amount of local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication is injected around the occipital nerves to reduce irritation and pain.
The procedure takes only a few minutes and often provides significant relief, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities quickly.
The procedure is safe without any major side-effects and can be performed as a day-care procedure without extended hospital stay
