Occipital Neuralgia

Occipital neuralgia is a type of headache caused when the nerves that run from the back of your neck through the back of your head and scalp are inflamed or injured. The nerves may cause chronic pain in the neck, back of the head, and behind the ears. Discomfort may often be on one side of the head.
