Occipital Nerve Blocks in League City, TX
If you’re struggling with chronic headaches, migraines, or upper neck pain, an occipital nerve block may provide the relief you need at League City Spine and Sports Medicine.
What is an Occipital Nerve Block?
An occipital nerve block is a targeted injection that delivers a combination of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication near the occipital nerves—located at the base of the skull. These nerves can become irritated, leading to conditions like occipital neuralgia, chronic migraines, and tension-type headaches. By reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals, this procedure can provide fast and long-lasting relief.
