Occipital Nerve Block in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau: Targeted Treatment for Cervico-Cranial Pain

Occipital nerve irritation is a common cause of chronic headaches and neck pain. Patients in Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau often experience pain radiating from the base of the skull toward the scalp or forehead.

An occipital nerve block involves injecting medication near the affected nerve to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain transmission. When properly indicated, this procedure can significantly reduce pain intensity and frequency.

Dr. Patrice Langlois brings advanced anesthesiology and chronic pain expertise to the diagnosis and treatment of cervico-cranial pain syndromes.

If chronic headaches or neck pain are affecting your quality of life in Montréal, Ottawa or Gatineau, Dr. Patrice Langlois can help determine whether an occipital nerve block is appropriate.
