Procedure Highlight: Occipital Nerve Block

Occipital Nerve Blocks (ONB) are just one way we can treat headaches here at Pain Specialists of Cincinnati. In this procedure, a small amount of steroids and numbing agent are introduced along the occipital nerve, providing the opportunity for significant reduction in inflammation and in turn a significant reduction in the amount of headaches you may experience! 

Contact us today to set up a consult, or for regular patients, talk to the staff at your next follow up!


Below is a depiction of an occipital nerve block being performed at the base of the skull. It is performed under ultrasound guidance.
