Atlanto-axial and Atlanto-occipital Joint Injections
The atlanto-axial joint is the joint formed by the
uppermost cervical vertebrae. It is a common cause of pain at the
base of the scalp that can radiate all the way behind the eye. Treatment
of pain from this joint with injection therapy can provide long
term relief of these frequently under diagnosed or misdiagnosed
headaches. The atlanto-occipital joint is the joint formed by the
joining of the skull with the cervical spine. Although a more unusual
cause of headaches, it can be a cause of upper neck pain and headaches
that occur with rotation of the head. - view
