Nice video but I’d still do an Ultrasound guided block just to be sure I’m not in the occipital artery. As always head and neck scares the hell outta me
Very good video. Liked it. You certainly ticked all the boxes in your approach. I use a different approach. That does not use injections or medications. (Big pharma may not be too happy). Hence - Zero risk of side effects, Zero risk injury, Zero risk of infection. It's 100% manual. The pain reduction is instantaneous. The pain reduction is up to 100%. Around 80% is the average. No of visits vary depending on the case. Sometimes just the one visit is enough. Three techniques can be used own their own or in combination. Depending on the cause of the pain. Which are split into two. 1. Muscular Lesion 2. Blocked Meridian The approach is similar for both types. All use infrared scan to pinpoint the pain source. This can be done in two ways. 1. I use the palm of my hand to detect tiny variation in heat emanating from the exact spot indicated from the area by the patient. An acquired sensitivity through training and practice. Similar to a doctor palpating the abdomen. 2. Alternatively an HD infra red camera can suffice. The Muscular Lesion. Can by adapting the acquired sensitivity from a being trained Reflexologist. Then applying what I call deep neuromuscular technique. By pressing very firmly on the lesion at the precise to immobilize it. Then stretching the muscle length wise. The muscle will stretch like a chewing gum. Then when relaxed it will not contract completely. You then have some play where the muscle can move within the limit of the play without pain. It takes less than a minute to apply. Can be repeated right after several times if needed but 2 or 3 is usually enough. Pain reduction is confirmed the by reduction or elimination of the heat emanating from the site. Mobility is also significantly restored at the same time without pain. Advise the patient to rest the affected part as much as possible. Higher protein diet to aid faster recovery. About 2 weeks. and not to keep testing the site by frequently stretching to see if it still hurts. This will delay recovery and promote greater scar tissue at the site leaving it weakened, than it otherwise would. Day to day activities can be undertaken, keeping within the parameters. Interim repeat treatments as required. Please not the injury is still there the body will repair itself like lesion of scar form a cut. Blocked Meridian Is much quicker. Infrared approach as before, to pinpoint the source of the pain. If no lesion is detected. Then apply acupressure technique. Press down firmly and flick perpendicularly sideways . Repeat if needed. Takes just a few seconds. Pain reduction is confirmed the by reduction or elimination of the heat emanating from the site. Repeated until no emanates. Mobility is also significantly restored at the same time without pain. The third technique is Infrared Reflexology for both foot and hand techniques. Same as conventional reflexology accept for the infrared part. Hand techniques are those whom have studied to advance level. Reflexology is a manual pressure technique applied in a specific way using thumbs/fingers on different parts of the hand or feet relating to the corresponding part in the body. As a full treatment 1 hour appx. very pleasant and relaxing. Hear it is used for instant pain reduction in the space of a few minutes. Reflexology has official WHO recognition 2019. Pain reduction is confirmed the by reduction or elimination of the heat emanating from the site on the effected part of the body as well as the corresponding part on the hand or foot. Mobility is also significantly restored at the same time without pain. In some cases works even through light clothing Tried and tested in my practice successfully for over 35 years. I am more into understanding the reason why an ailments occur. There is a book I can suggest on to anyone interested for information purposes only. A light read. Short and to the point. HEAL YOUR BODY by LOUISE L HAY. I have no commercial interest in the sale of this book.
what is the difference please, between this treatment, and a cortisone injection for occipital neuralgia? And, which is more commonly used for this condition? Thank you.
These treatments are just numbing agent (lidocaine, etc), and will usually only offer short term relief. Cortisone injections are usually a combination of a numbing agent and a steroid. The numbing agent will offer immediate although short term numbing of the area (days to maybe weeks), and the steroid will help reduce inflammation long term (weeks to months). Its kind of like a one two punch.
I had this done yesterday after having lower back pain for a year, the relief was immediate for me, I am just dealing some soreness at the injection site, Tylenol is helping. Thanks for sharing this video. I shared it with family and friends who are curious about this procedure.
I have done blocks for years and this is a wonderful video---I offered to teach other docs but sadly, so often, they declined----it is SO useful. Now that I am retired, I am getting calls to help patients, and NOW an interest in learning techniques for various cranial blocks.
Ummm...wow...And no one wants to try Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah to heal them! They inject you just enough for a temporary fix but don't cure you so you have to keep coming back to get it! Yeshua says by his stripes we are healed! (Period) HALLELUYAH!!!
Thank you for your very informative video from a nurse ;). I just had this done for Cluster headaches, i reallllllly hope it helps as i have tried so many medications and daily lithium to try control them but unsucsessful so i am looking forward to the relief this could bring. Do not be alarmed by the injection it is not bad at all. My neurologist just told me to put my head on her desk and did 3 block on the left and i barley felt the needle !
How have felt since the injection?? ANY improvements??I had two today with minimal results so far.... Staying optimistic, but pain came back as numbing went away.
Sorry late reply to the updated. I had this done twice and unfortunately it did not work either time and I am now getting a neuro stimulant. The injections are not bad and have helped so many people so don’t be scared and just try it - if it works that’s amazing and a good solution. If not go back to neurologist they will see what else is available for you.

Femoral block targets the femoral nerve directly. Fascia Iliaca block targets the fascia that encompasses the femoral nerve. So some of the local gets to the femoral nerve. But most tracks upwards towards pelvis and blocks some accessory nerves. The best block is a super Inguinal fascia iliaca block.
Still waiting to be accepted for this medicine. They wanted me to try everything else they could think of first. Years have gone by. Hope I will get this medicine soon🙏🏾
My doctor gave me 12 injections at a time in neck, back sides of neck... With a minute my pain is gone but I still feel dizzy. I have total 6 seatings and feel 50% pain free .
Went to the doctor for migraines for 10 years and gave up. Began doing my own research and found your video, I was 100% sure this was my issue...on both sides. Can this issue be caused by air accessing the nerve from an opening such as a TBI of some kind?
@@the_vukeim gonna do mine soon as well. im wondering do they help? like do they give pain relief? i saw many people saying they last for couple of days only.
@@joudi7184 I’m not going to lie it did nothing for my migraines. But I have a friend that swears by them so it seems it’s very hit or miss. Good luck! I hope it works wonders for you!
