Service Overview

Occipital nerve blocks are injections near the occipital nerves that may reduce pain signals from the back of the head.

These injections differ from epidural steroid injections, which target spinal spaces for conditions such as radiculopathy or herniated discs.
Premier Injury Specialists provides this care for auto accident patients in Jonesboro and surrounding Metro Atlanta communities.

Process

Steps for deciding on an occipital nerve block

Review the collision and symptoms

We record the injury history, pain location, headache pattern, and symptoms that affect daily activity.

Check the likely pain source

The examination looks at the neck, scalp pain pattern, related nerve symptoms, and findings that may point to another condition.

Explain risks and treatment fit

We discuss temporary numbness, dizziness, bleeding, infection, and the reasons an occipital nerve block may or may not suit the findings.

Plan documentation and follow-up

The medical record captures the assessment, treatment decision, and information needed for continued care or attorney coordination.

How we approach occipital nerve block decisions

Match the injection to the pain source

We review the pain pattern before recommending an injection. An occipital nerve block is the wrong fit when findings point to a spinal disc, facet joint, or another condition.

Explain side effects before treatment

Temporary numbness, dizziness, bleeding, and infection risk receive direct attention during the consultation. Patients can ask questions before choosing a treatment plan.

Document the injury clearly

Our practice connects evaluation, interventional treatment, and detailed medical documentation. Board-certified pain management physicians guide the medical assessment.

A situation this service fits

A patient in Jonesboro may report head pain after a rear-impact collision, yet the pain source may involve the neck, scalp nerves, or a spinal structure. We compare the symptom pattern with examination findings before selecting an injection or another treatment path.

How related injection options differ

The suspected pain source guides the choice between these interventional treatments.

Occipital nerve block	Nerves near the back of the head	Headache or scalp pain pattern
Epidural steroid injection	Spinal epidural space	Findings linked to radiculopathy or disc problems

Tracy checked me in. Tony triaged me and Dr Scott took care of me. They made me feel welcome and comfortable from start to finish. I don't think I've ever had a doctor's visit this WONDERFUL! I barely felt a thing and as a person who is terribly afraid of needles, they took all my fears away and provided an excellent experience. Tony plays your favorite music during the procedure and it lasts about one song. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!!

Questions about side effects and treatment decisions

What side effects can occur after an occipital nerve block for Occipital Nerve Blocks?

Temporary numbness is a possible side effect after an occipital nerve block. Dizziness, soreness, mild bleeding, and infection can also occur near the injection site. Worsening pain, spreading redness, fever, severe weakness, or breathing trouble needs prompt medical attention. Our clinicians explain these warning signs before treatment and record concerns during follow-up.

How does dizziness fit into the safety review?

Dizziness after an injection needs a symptom review, especially if it is severe or does not improve. We ask when it began, how it feels, and whether weakness, fainting, or breathing trouble occurred. Patients should report concerning symptoms to a licensed medical provider promptly. The review helps separate a short-lived reaction from a sign that needs urgent care.

Which bleeding concerns should patients mention before treatment?

Bleeding concerns include blood-thinning medicines, a bleeding disorder, or unusual bruising. Patients should share medication details and relevant medical history before an injection. We use that information during the safety review and explain what bleeding near the injection site may require medical attention. Patients should not stop prescribed medicine without guidance from the prescribing clinician.

When should infection symptoms be checked after an injection?

Infection symptoms should be checked promptly when redness spreads, pain worsens, drainage appears, or fever develops. Mild soreness can occur near an injection site, but new or worsening symptoms deserve medical advice. Our team explains site concerns before treatment and documents the patient's report. Seek urgent care for severe illness or rapidly worsening symptoms.

Why might another procedure fit better than this injection?

Another procedure may fit better when examination findings point to a disc, facet joint, or spinal nerve root. Epidural steroid injections address spinal spaces, while facet joint injections and medial branch blocks target different pain sources. We compare the symptom pattern with the examination before recommending care. Results vary, and no injection guarantees pain relief.

What should I bring to a first injury evaluation?

Medical records, imaging reports, medication details, and collision information help us assess the injury. Patients can also note when headaches, neck pain, scalp sensitivity, or dizziness began. A referral is not required in most cases. Attorneys may send records directly when they coordinate documentation with our practice.
