Occipital Nerve Blocks
An occipital nerve block is a medical procedure where a local anesthetic and/or corticosteroid is injected near the occipital nerves to provide temporary or permanent pain relief from headaches and other conditions like migraines, occipital neuralgia, concussion, chronic dizziness and chronic head pain.
The procedure involves injecting a numbing medication to block pain signals. Pain relief from the anesthetic begins almost immediately, though the effects of the corticosteroid may take days to weeks to become noticeable. The pain relief can last for weeks or months.
Dr Veluchamy is a leading expert in performing occipital nerve blocks in children and adults .
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block
A sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is a procedure that uses a local anesthetic to block nerve signals from the sphenopalatine ganglion, a nerve cluster in the back of the nasal cavity, to alleviate pain from certain headache and facial pain disorders, including migraines and cluster headaches. The anesthetic can be applied through a nasal spray with a sphenocath device and cotton-tip applicator, with the goal of providing rapid relief from severe headaches.
