Occipital Pain Exercises 

Word of advice. Massage the muscles at the base of your skull until they are so tender u can’t touch em. Once you do that just keep massaging very deeply and you will relieve your head pain.

Where you are pointing at 00:45 and 2:10 - that is *exactly* where I’m having trouble! It’s not the head…not a headache…more neck and referred ear pain, it’s bloody awful! How you describe the nerve pain was spot on too! Gonna try your exercises! Thank you for sharing this! :)

Thank you, these stretches feel so good! Ive been suffering with this for a while, excited to have a solution.

Thank you so much

Thank you for this! really helps

Thank you so much. I feel better quickly with these techniques ❤❤

Cervicogenic migraines absolutely suck. I'll have to work on this and follow your other vids. Thanks.

Wonderful instant relief for me ❤

Thank yuuu! The pain went down like 90%. God bless!

Thank you

This might be it! My neck released some crackles immediately when I did the chin tuck, no pain involved. My SCM's on both sides are relatively tight as well, definitely feel more of a stretch on that. Laying down with no pillow seems to offer relief when it's feeling achey. Also doing back day (focus on traps and rhomboids) rids the pain all together, and also kicks my lower back pain funnily enough. I used to play a lot of computer games in my younger days. I'm also at a newish job where I'm bending over a lot, with my head up/back, which is where I'll get the sharp pain on occasion. Keeping it stiff/slightly tucked seems to avoid troubles. Seems like I know what to do; SCM and chin tuck stretches, and back days at the gym lol.

Ah this helps so much with neck pain

Thank uou. Dr. 😊🙏👏👏👏

If I did these exercises I would have a flare up for days 😵‍💫

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This is my third day suffering from throbbing sharp pain behind my ear. The second stretch exercise you recommended is relieving the pain. I'm going to keep stretching throughout the day❤❤❤❤❤

This one will help some.... Great... 👍 Been on ON last year... 😭😭

hey is your left shoulder lifted a bit?

Very nice exercises my pain reduces when i start thanksss

Yes I know what intense pain you're talking about I had it happened once in January and it was so intense that I could not take it and I do not take pain pills. I had some pain pills left over from my Hysterectomy that I had a couple years earlier and I took a couple of those and they didn't even take the pain away it was that extreme I was so emotional from the pain. I couldn't take it and I finally went into the doctor and they gave me a high dose Anti-inflammatory shot. It worked 45 minutes later the pain was gone I called the doctor's office to tell them I was so grateful because I was literally crying in the waiting room from the pain. The only problem is I woke up in the middle of the night with a Diverticulitis flared up I guess people with diverticulitis should not have that high of a dose of Anti-inflammatory because it can irritate the Diverticulitis so then I had that to deal with but I was so grateful to have the pain in my neck gone I didn't even care about the flare up even though I was throwing up all night and had stomach cramps and diarrhea😢

Thanks!!!! It worked for me!

I’ve had this pain for almost 6 months now, it’s an on going headache low left side. I’ve been to doctors and chiropractors. Should I see a neurologist now? This pain is beyond painful. I want to be healed. 😢when I move certain ways I feel a bad pinch. I also feel a small bump left side lower. I’m scared. Wondering if I should get an MRI AS WELL.

I have a denneroller for cervical curve does using this help or make it worse

Thanks, I shall do it from 2:00 to 5:00 because I have bad reflux so lying on the floor exercise is not for me.

@backintelligence Have you ever had any clients with complaints of vertigo from occipital Nueralgia? I get it when massaging the muscles you discussed in this video so I’m curious if this is a thing or if it’s just me then. I’m being seen by a nuerologist but they’re ofc isn’t having me come back till November due to their busy schedule

Can we get a occipital neuralgia vid feel like you really know what your doing thanks

I have chronic migraine and cervicogenic headaches with brutal occipital pain. My life is a misery because of it. Any exercises or stretchas like this just make me worse 😢

Can this condition induced other referred symptoms like heart palpitations and shortness of breath?

Chin tucks make me feel the impigment but if i put my fingers i that area i dont feel it. Can i do the stretch with my finger pressing that area to avoid the impigment feeling?

I woke up with horrible pain in ears and back of head this exercise provided lil relief

I have been having pain at the back of my neck, sometime I do have a pain, and head ache, but my concern most is the bump at the back of my right neck to my Occipical that has been a year now that never go away, hoping this exercise works for me, Ive'd seen many Doctor regarding my back pain, said that i am just nervous, and one Doctor said its Occipical its tiny, nothing to worry, wait till it gets big? one Doctor said need to take magnesium. Keep seaching for exercise hoping that this will work.

Chin tucks are what gave me the pain lol

5:37 is it safe rolling directly over the spine in this neck area?

Occipital Neuralgia is a pain in the a##...😢😮‍💨😬😬😬i did try some while watching these exercises, slightly better!!! Thankyou ☺️🌷

Instant relief doc this all started when i stretched my neck awkwardly if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

8 years now daily pain terrible pain

I have had pain in the left side of neck under jaw midway between throat and ear for 3 months. No one can figure it out. Could pinched nerve or muscle strain last for months?

I have a hernaited C6 that has given me cervicogenic headaches for over 6 months. And it is where he is explaining. It is horrible.

Im 15 and i believe this is what i may have but i dont know yet. but at this point its so painful im trying to do anything. I have been of school ever since may this year. Ive had this pain for the past 7 years And end of may this year i have a siezure im not sure if thats for the ospital neuralgia. But im hoping this will help.

Is it possible for your occiput bone to get out of place? Many chiropractors believe adjusting the bone back to its original placement will heal these headaches. Thoughts on this?

i get mainly the nausea dizzyness, sux

How can we cure the nerv that causes that pain

Should I pull through the pain when I do these exercises? It hurts

Looking down triggers my O.N. Big time
