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 animation
