Case study 107 - Occipital neuralgia Occipital neuralgia is a rare neurological condition that involves shooting, shocking, throbbing, burning, or aching pain and headache that generally starts at the base of the head and spreads along the scalp on one or both sides of the head. It involves the occipital nerves, which run from the area where the spinal column meets the neck, up to the scalp at the back of the head.

🟡 occipital neuralgia. This is a nerve gliding movement that may be helpful in some cases. There are other exercises to try but I am highlighting this movement and this exercise in this video. Please see your doctor for headaches or for neck pain prior to performing exercise. This movement is supported in the literature which is why I think it's important to learn. #Occipitalneuralgia #chiropractor #exercise #occipitalnerve #neckexercise | Bannockburn Chiropractic & Physical Therapy
