Occipital Neuralgia Treatment at Our Private Pain Clinic in Manchester

​

Living with persistent pain at the back of your head and neck can be frustrating and exhausting. Occipital neuralgia is a condition that causes sharp, throbbing, or burning pain due to irritation or compression of the occipital nerves, which run from the base of your neck to the scalp. At our private pain clinic in Manchester, we specialise in diagnosing and treating occipital neuralgia, providing expert care for privately paying and privately insured patients from Manchester, Cheshire, and Lancashire.

​

What Is Occipital Neuralgia?

Occipital neuralgia can often feel like a severe headache or migraine, but it stems from nerve irritation rather than typical headache causes. Common symptoms include:

​

• Pain that starts at the base of your skull and may radiate to the scalp, forehead, or behind the eyes.

• Sensitivity to light or scalp tenderness.

• A stabbing or electric shock-like sensation that may be triggered by touch or movement.

This condition can result from injuries, muscle tension, nerve damage, or conditions like arthritis. Regardless of the cause, our Manchester clinic offers a range of tailored treatments to help alleviate your pain and restore your quality of life.

​
