When people experience more than 15 headaches per month, they are usually classified as chronic headaches. These headaches can come in the form of migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, and more. After an evaluation, our physicians frequently find that these headaches are a result of swelling around the occipital nerves, which is a system of nerves that span from the back of your head and down into your upper neck. At Tulsa Pain, we focus on the uppermost region known as the greater occipital nerve in order to treat headaches and occipital neuralgia. 

Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure in which heat energy is used to treat pain. It can provide pain relief to all sorts of chronic pain patients, especially those with back and neck pain. Many pain management doctors recommend this option because it can give longer lasting effects than a steroid injection. 

It’s a popular theory that people can feel a storm coming in their joints. In fact, many patients suffering from chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia have reported an increase in pain right before it rains. Even though this phenomenon is common, there has been no research to back up these claims – until now.

Dietary supplements are pills, tablets, and foods that can be purchased in the pharmacy aisle without a prescription from a doctor. They are often vitamins, minerals, and other natural ingredients that do not need to be approved by the FDA. However, just because they are natural doesn’t mean they are safe.

Nerves are responsible for carrying information from the body to the brain, so it’s no wonder that nerves are involved in chronic pain conditions. When nerves are pinched, damaged, or misfire pain signals, Tulsa Pain can address this by using nerve blocks, steroid injections, or a number of other treatments. But what if it were possible to promote nerve health from home? After all, we do take vitamins to prevent sickness and help us feel better.
