Occipital neuralgia : Occipital neuralgia is a headache where the skull base meets the neck involving muscles, fascia and bones as well as occipital nerves. Medications are only a part of the treatment plan: relaxation, exercise,, bodywork, and meditation are also useful and don’t require a prescription or referral to a physical therapist. Consider consulting a dentist to rule out TMJ disorder with similar symptoms.
