Criteria for Sub-Occipital Nerve Block Candidates

While sub-occipital nerve blocks can be effective for many patients, not everyone is a suitable candidate. Typically, candidates for this treatment will meet the following criteria:

  • Have been diagnosed with a condition that can be treated with a sub-occipital nerve block
  • Have tried other treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, with limited success
  • Do not have any contraindications or medical conditions that would make the procedure unsafe or less effective

It is essential to consult with a licensed medical professional, such as those at Tennessee Spine, to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a sub-occipital nerve block treatment.
