About
How occipital nerve blocks fit head and neck pain care
Occipital nerve blocks target pain near the occipital nerves at the back of the head. Patients may ask about them after headaches, scalp sensitivity, neck pain, or an injury. Our physician first reviews your symptoms, medical history, and current treatments. The discussion also covers possible benefits, limits, side effects, and other care options. A nerve block may reduce pain for some patients, but it doesn't guarantee lasting relief. Risks matter with any injection. Soreness, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, or a change in symptoms can occur. We explain warning signs and recovery steps so you know when to contact our office or seek urgent care. Free consultations give you space to ask about fit before choosing a treatment. We provide individualized treatment plans based on your condition and needs.

Tracy checked me in. Tony triaged me and Dr Scott took care of me. They made me feel welcome and comfortable from start to finish. I don't think I've ever had a doctor's visit this WONDERFUL! I barely felt a thing and as a person who is terribly afraid of needles, they took all my fears away and provided an excellent experience. Tony plays your favorite music during the procedure and it lasts about one song. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!!

Scenarios
When Customers Call Us About Occipital Nerve Blocks
1
Headache With Scalp Sensitivity
Pain behind the head can spread across the scalp and make touch uncomfortable. The location, pattern, and related neck symptoms matter before an injection is considered. During a consultation in Stockbridge, we review those details and discuss whether a targeted nerve block belongs in your treatment plan.
2
Neck Injury With Repeated Head Pain
After an auto accident or sports injury, neck pain and headaches may appear together. We need the injury history, current symptoms, and prior care to understand the pattern. Bring your records and medication list, then schedule a consultation so our physician can explain suitable next steps.
3
Concern About Injection Risks
Fear of needles or uncertainty about side effects can make treatment decisions harder. Our physician explains the injection area, possible soreness, temporary numbness, infection signs, and recovery guidance before you choose. A free consultation lets you ask direct questions without committing to treatment.
Our Other Services
Knee Pain TreatmentKnee pain can interfere with stairs, walking, exercise, and work demands. A focused evaluation considers cartilage wear, arthritis, prior injury, and movement limits, then guides medication, therapy, or joint injection options.
Auto Accident Injury EvaluationAfter a crash, neck pain, back pain, or numbness can make daily tasks difficult. A clinical exam reviews collision injuries, range of motion, and nerve symptoms, then guides imaging referrals and treatment planning for a clearer recovery path.
Epidural Steroid InjectionsLeg or arm pain from an irritated spinal nerve can limit walking, lifting, or sleep. An epidural steroid injection places medication near the affected nerve root to calm inflammation and support movement during rehabilitation.
Facet Joint InjectionsArthritis in the small facet joints can cause painful, restricted neck or back movement. Facet joint injections deliver anesthetic and corticosteroid near the irritated joint, helping identify the pain source and improve everyday function.
Medial Branch BlocksBack or neck pain from facet joints may continue despite ordinary treatment. Medial branch blocks temporarily numb the nerves serving those joints, helping confirm the source and guide later radiofrequency ablation when appropriate.
Radiofrequency AblationPersistent facet-related back or neck pain can return after temporary relief from nerve blocks. Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat on selected medial branch nerves, reducing pain signals and supporting easier movement during daily activities.
