An occipital nerve block is a minimally invasive procedure available to patients with headaches associated with the occipital nerve. These may include types of pain that start at the back of the head near the neck, and then radiate outward throughout the head. An occipital nerve block inhibits or blocks the disproportionate or chronic signals that are sent to the brain, processed and perceived as headache pain. Occipital nerve blocks may result in pain relief lasting up to several months, depending on the response of the individual patient to this treatment.
