Types of Occipital Nerve Blocks We Handle
Occipital Nerve Block

It may fit collision-related headaches or neck pain after we review the symptom pattern and injury history. Request a consultation to discuss whether this option belongs in your treatment plan.

About
How nerve blocks fit collision-related head pain
Occipital nerve blocks address selected pain around the back of the head, scalp, and upper neck. They may fit patients whose symptoms began or worsened after a motor vehicle collision. Our physicians first connect the pain pattern with the injury history. The review also considers headaches, whiplash, radiculopathy, and traumatic brain injury symptoms. A nerve block isn't right for every headache or neck complaint. The key decision is fit. We look at where the pain starts, how it travels, and what other symptoms appear. We then explain whether a targeted injection belongs in the treatment plan.
What Occipital Nerve Blocks Covers
Occipital nerve blocks are targeted injections that place medication near nerves linked to pain in the back of the head and upper neck.
- Occipital nerve blocks differ from epidural steroid injections because they address head and upper-neck nerve pain, not spinal nerve-root pain.
- The service fits our auto accident injury practice, which evaluates collision-related pain and traumatic brain injuries.

- The date and basic details of the motor vehicle collision

Questions about targeted head and neck injections
Who provides occipital nerve blocks after an auto accident?
Premier Injury Specialists provides occipital nerve blocks through its coordinated injury practice. Our team includes board-certified physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine, along with a certified physician assistant. We evaluate the collision history and pain pattern before discussing the injection. The practice focuses on auto accident injuries, not general primary care or workers’ compensation care.
How does a physician decide whether this injection fits?
Pain location and symptom pattern guide the fit decision. We ask where the pain starts, whether it reaches the scalp, and how it relates to neck movement or the collision. We also review headaches, whiplash, and other injury findings. A nerve block may not suit every headache, so the evaluation comes before the procedure.
How much does an occipital nerve block cost?
The cost depends on the evaluation, treatment plan, and care details for your injury. We don’t publish an amount for this service. Free consultations let you discuss the planned care and billing questions before treatment. Care may be billed through MedPay or an attorney lien when those arrangements apply.
Can I receive a same-day evaluation for collision-related head pain?
Same-day evaluations are available when possible. Availability depends on the clinic schedule and the needs of your injury review. Our Stockbridge clinic assesses auto accident injuries, including headaches, whiplash, and traumatic brain injuries. Call or request a consultation so we can discuss the symptoms and records needed.
Does the injection hurt?
Injection discomfort varies from person to person. We explain the planned procedure and answer questions before treatment begins. Tell us about needle fear, prior injection concerns, or current pain during the consultation. Our patient-centered approach keeps the discussion focused on your symptoms, comfort, and informed treatment choice.
What records should I bring to the first visit?
Medical records, imaging reports, and a current medicine list help us assess the injury. Bring collision details and notes about headache location, scalp sensitivity, and neck pain. We use those details to connect symptoms with the accident and document the care plan. If an attorney is involved, share that during intake.
What is the difference between this block and an epidural injection?
An occipital nerve block targets nerves linked to head and upper-neck pain, while an epidural injection targets pain associated with the spinal space. The two procedures address different pain patterns. We review your symptoms and injury findings before choosing an option. Your plan may include other interventional procedures when clinically appropriate.
Key Points About Occipital Nerve Blocks
- Occipital nerve blocks target selected pain behind the head and near the upper neck.
- Headaches after a collision need a symptom and injury review first.
- Scalp tenderness can help define the pain pattern.
- Epidural and facet injections address different pain sources.
- Detailed records connect the procedure with the auto accident injury.

Scenarios
When Customers Call Us About Occipital Nerve Blocks
1
Headaches After Whiplash
Headaches can continue after the neck is strained in a collision, especially when pain begins near the upper neck or scalp. The location, trigger, and pattern matter when we assess whether occipital nerve blocks fit. Bring your accident details and any prior records to a consultation. We’ll connect the headache pattern with the rest of your injury evaluation.
2
Scalp Pain With Neck Symptoms
Scalp tenderness and upper-neck pain can point toward irritated nerves, but other injury sources can feel similar. Our physicians compare the symptom path with your collision history and related findings. A consultation gives you a chance to discuss the injection, its purpose, and other care options before a treatment decision is made.
3
Documentation After A Collision
Some patients need care records that clearly connect symptoms, evaluations, and treatment after an auto accident. Our coordinated practice documents the injury review and planned procedures in the medical record. If an attorney is involved, tell us during intake so we can support the documentation process while we assess whether a nerve block fits.
Our Other Services
Knee Pain TreatmentKnee pain after a crash can affect stairs, walking, and everyday balance. We assess joint tenderness, swelling, and movement, then discuss options such as a knee injection when inflammation or joint damage contributes to pain.
Auto Accident Injury EvaluationAfter a collision, neck stiffness, dizziness, or back pain can signal injuries that need prompt review. Our physicians assess whiplash, herniated discs, radiculopathy, and soft-tissue damage, then create a documented treatment plan for your recovery.
Epidural Steroid InjectionsArm or leg pain from an irritated spinal nerve can make driving, sleeping, and working difficult. An epidural steroid injection places medication near the affected nerve root to reduce inflammation and support meaningful movement.
Facet Joint InjectionsPain from irritated facet joints can worsen with standing, bending, or turning your neck. A facet joint injection targets the painful spinal joint with medication, helping identify the source and ease localized back or neck pain.
Medial Branch BlocksPersistent spine pain may come from small nerves serving the facet joints rather than a disc. Medial branch blocks temporarily numb those nerves, giving physicians useful diagnostic information and helping guide later treatment decisions.
Radiofrequency AblationPatients with confirmed facet-related pain may need longer-lasting relief after successful medial branch blocks. Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to interrupt selected pain signals, helping reduce recurring spinal discomfort without treating the entire nerve.
