Occipital neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe pain that typically radiates from the neck to the scalp, can be debilitating. Traditional treatments often involve medication or invasive procedures, but upper cervical chiropractic care provides a non-invasive alternative.
At Restore Chiropractic Center in Ralston, NE, we focus on this specialized care to address the root causes of occipital neuralgia, aiming to relieve pain and restore quality of life.
Understanding Occipital Neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia arises when the occipital nerves, running from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp, are injured or inflamed. This condition can cause intense headaches that feel like sharp, jabbing electric shocks in the neck and back of the head.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Approach to Occipital Neuralgia
Upper cervical chiropractic care targets misalignments in the upper neck, particularly the atlas and axis, which can affect nerve function and lead to symptoms of occipital neuralgia.
- Precision Adjustments: By realigning the vertebrae in the upper cervical spine, chiropractic adjustments can reduce the pressure on the occipital nerves and alleviate pain.
- Reducing Nerve Interference: Proper spinal alignment can improve nerve function, potentially decreasing the frequency and severity of pain episodes.
- Holistic Pain Management: Upper cervical care focuses on restoring body balance and nerve communication, which can help manage and prevent pain.
