Causes
Occipital neuralgia can be the result of pinched nerves or muscle tightness in the neck. It can also be caused by a head or neck injury. Occipital neuralgia can either be primary or secondary. A secondary condition is associated with an underlying disease.
Although any of the following may be causes of occipital neuralgia, many cases can be attributed to chronic neck tension or unknown origins.
Symptoms of occipital neuralgia include his causes headaches that feel like severe piercing, throbbing or shock-like pain in the upper neck, back of the head or behind the ears., it is continuous aching, burning and throbbing, with intermittent shocking or shooting pain that generally starts at the base of the head and goes to the scalp on one or both sides of the head. Patients often have pain behind the eye of the affected side of the head. Additionally, a movement as light as brushing hair may trigger pain. The pain is often described as migraine-like and some patients may also experience symptoms common to migraines and cluster headaches.
can be very difficult to diagnose because of its similarities with migraines and other headache disorders. Therefore, it is important to seek medical care when you begin feeling unusual, sharp pain in the neck or scalp and the pain is not accompanied by nausea or light sensitivity. Begin by addressing the problem with your primary care physician. They may refer you to a specialist.
Treatment
Treatment of occipital neuralgia aims to alleviate the pain; however, it is not a cure. Interventions can be surgical or non-surgical.
ANd iont his video i will show SNAG mobilization techniques, SNAGs stand for Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides. SNAGs can be applied to all the spinal joints, the rib cage and the sacroiliac joint. The therapist applies the appropriate accessory zygapophyseal glide while the patient performs the symptomatic movement. This must result in full range pain free movement.

Welcome
The occipital nerve for me is the trigger that sets off an even more excruciating mass of pain above the ear on the right side around 4 or 5 inches round it seems. it started over a year and a half from the lower back of the neck radiating to the upper right back of the head and has now moved to the below the ear radiating up. There is also a constant area of different levels of pain at the base of the neck. I presume it is given by scar tissue from 35 radiation therapies that got rid of cancer there, i am trying to find out that simple little thing no doctors want to seem to address (?)... It simply cannot have the pressure given for too long with that stretching exercise... I'm with you 100% in attempting to remedy this issue...
Yes Try this program and let me know
@@AnniePilatesPhysicalTherapist God, I only wish it did... About 2.4 yrs ago i completed the 35 RT and i had noticed a slight electrical type pins/needles feeling at the base of the back of my neck and head and then to the upper part. No big deal, just noticing it. Then maybe 5 months out it got more defined and started getting my attention more and more. I spent the next year and a half trying to explain it to the radiologist who would never suggest what it could be. Then it started to move around to the right side and was getting more hurtful and I was just trying to find a way to fix it somehow and came across the term 'occipital neuralgia' that describes it perfectly. When I confronted him with this he actually denied it!? I recently went to a neurologist who also denied it could even possibly be what the issue is, but offered no other possibilities too. I have to wonder why they take this position... I have been to the ER twice now from the intensity of it with now words or advice on how to fix it...
Hi annie. You are an angel! Ive experienced this occipital thing 3x already on separate occassions (ages ago) while playing basketball. And it hurts like hell! The pinched nerved never went away after those 03 horrible episodes. I couldnt lift my entire left arm without that throbbing sting at the back of my head. It got worse yesterday. The throbbing nerve pain. Thank you for helping me today. Almost 80% went away after i followed your video tutorial just right now. I'll do this again tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend and see how i progress. How can i show my appreciation to you annie?

@@dadagaming2.025 good to hear you’re working on it. I’m currently waiting to see a pain specialist, hopefully you can see one too someday👍🏻
massage,gel,heat pad, exercise and continuous wear neck collar when you move or drive for treat occipital neuralgia and check B12 in your blood
Yes B12 is key definitely i
3 minimal bulging discs in my neck 2 in upper back and a minor in lower back. Bad paid on base of skull mainly behind left ear. I have tried these. I think I need to keep doing them. The way people hold phones must cause a lot of this
Hi Annie, first of all very helpful video, I have bilateral cervical rib & occipital neuralgia both .. I do yoga and strength training regularly.. I have seen my occipital nerve pain getting worse whenever I do headstand.. it doesn’t happen every time though.. should I avoid doing it ? Does bilateral cervical rib is the cause for my occipital nerve pain ?
I have had a migraine for 8 weeks and for last 2 weeks terrible pain at neck. Dr telling me trigeminal myalgia...I am waiting to see a neurologist but can't get an apt till October 25 the. So many doctors left NYC... I am in so much pain I can't take it much longer. Prendizone is all they gave me...60 days on prendizone I don't like meds.
Yes prednisone is not pleasant but sometimes needed but let me know How it goes with this program keep me posted
Need full video to alleviate severe neck at base of head snd shoulders
I have a follow along video let me know if uou want the link
If you have spinal fusion and can’t do cat and cow is there a modified move or alternate move instead of cat co
Follow along videos plz🙏🙏🙏🙏
what is when cci or aai is the problem, is this dangerous thema to Do? ...with this occipital nerve... Can I make this exercises?
I have a question - is it possible to have occipital neuralgia with just tingling and dizziness but no pain? My doctor ruled out inner ear issues and spine problems with an MRI, and my dizziness and tingling seems directly tied to neck movement, specifically when looking up. If it can be the case, should these exercises be used?
How often should one do these stretches?
Does this help with burning sensation too?
What about dizzyness from that area too
Gee is very easy to make to replace seed oils in frying - great for steaks too!
You can also lay on the ground and place a tennis ball/ lacrosse ball underneath the muscle where your head where it meets your neck, the muscle will relax and it will ease you pain
I do this! I put one under each side of the base of my skull while lying down and holding them while moving my head back and forth. Once i find the area if pain, i concentrate on that. It does help.I also rub a tennis ball on the area while sitting up. It grabs well and you don't have to push hard.
yes! and drinking alottt of water has helped me too. like a lot@@juliemorrow5875
Dear Annie, thank you so so much, i am suffering from late stage lyme disease and this causes me so many different side effects and pains. this video helped me so much! How often can i do this a day? is it ok to practice more often than once/day? Bless you.
And could you make a follow along video of this with the pillow case?
I have a follow along video i made after this and you. And you can do this once a day
hi, how to sleep if you have occipital neuralgia? i mean the sleeping posture? 😟
I have to get tucked in as much as possible for the fetal position. Try it. ❤
Ma'am l have trigiminal Neuralgia... almost one year
Hi Annie,does occipital neuralgia also cause dizziness or vertigo ? I am having dizziness or vertigo 24/7 with this inflammation
I was diagnosed with CD five years ago. Vertigo is a big part of it. To me, the vertigo is worse than the pain itself.
Hi - thank you for this video. Question: when doing the second and third movement do you go back to midline position each time x 10 or stay in the slight position for all the 10 repetitions.
Yes Go back medline and do 10 reps then slowly progress for an extra set if tolerated
Do you have upcoming classes? Would love to join.
Hello yes, i am currently have the class going on right now and you can join on my next class , send me your name and email address here www.anniepilatesphysicaltherapist.com/ join on my program FLOURISH I will send the email to get an early access once i re- open April 2022. I am excited to work with you soon.
I’ve followed a few different videos for ON pain relief and they all made my pain worse 😢 I’m worried to try this as I have pain all over the back of my head which makes putting any pressure on it extremely painful. I also likely have craniocervical instability and my chiropractor said not to tilt my head back as it destabilizes my neck further. Do you think it’s safe for me to do this?
No because what you have us instability , just do the strengthening part by increasing stability, I recommend do neck isometrics and I have video foe that but skip the part of neck extension , here is the link to try but skipping the neck extension or tilting back . Let me know how it goes

Yes , the Isometrics helped them the most which means to improve the neck Stability

I’m on year 5 officially this month. Can this pain be reversed after that many years? I had the occipital release surgery in 2019. It worked 3 months and came back. I’ve been to dr after dr. Most of them very unsympathetic and absolutely no answers. And I’m still in daily chronic pain.
