Many patients are having headaches because of peripheral irritation of the superficial nerves such as the greater and lesser occipital nerves, auriculotemporal nerves or supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve blocks.

 These neuralgias can be treated by injecting a mixture of local anesthetic and steroids in the vicinity of the appropriate nerves and the results are fairly immediate where the pain subsides within a few minutes.

The nerve blocks can give temporary or permanent pain relief and based on the patients, any mild recurring symptoms may be treated with the combination of heat, ice, massage, rehabilitation or other injections such as Botox injections, which can further help with the treatment of above conditions.
