Occipital Neuralgia
What Is Occipital Neuralgia?
Occipital Neuralgia is a type of headache caused by irritation or inflammation of the occipital nerves, which run from the upper spine to the scalp. This condition causes sharp, shooting, or electric-like pain in the back of the head, neck, or behind the eyes.
Unlike common headaches, occipital neuralgia is often one-sided and sudden, triggered by neck movement or touch. At Kaushik ENT Hospital, Udaipur, we offer safe and conservative treatment to help relieve this painful condition.
