🔍What Are Cluster Headaches?

Cluster headaches are excruciatingly painful and occur in
‘clusters, with frequent episodes of intense pain, often behind one eye, followed by headache-free periods.
These unpredictable headaches can last for weeks or months, significantly impacting quality of life. While the cause remains unclear, the pain and exhaustion are undeniable.

What Is Occipital Neuralgia? 💫

Occipital neuralgia refers to an inflammation of the occipital nerves found in the back of the head and neck. There are three pairs of occipital nerves that commonly suffer from inflammation:

• The two Greater Occipital Nerves (GON) are found on each side of the upper neck at the base of the back of the scalp
• The Third Occipital Nerves (TON) are found a few centimeters below the GON
• The Lesser Occipital Nerves (LON) are found on each side of the neck a few centimeters below the back of the ear

Occipital neuralgia most often produces a pain that feels like a tight, electric shock and many patients with severe occipital neuralgia report some type of headache. Chronic migraine, status migrainosus, chronic headache and tension headache cure are all diagnoses that may be given to patients with occipital neuralgia.

Book Review ⭐️

As a practicing clinical psychologist, I will be enthusiastically recommending Dr. Lowenstein’s new book about severe migraine headache surgical treatment to patients, colleagues, family and friends. Debilitating migraines cause not only acute pain, but are so often accompanied by clinically severe depression that can affect every area of patients’ and their family’s lives. With a remarkable user-friendly combination of clearly explained medically intricate neuroanataomy and warm encouragement, readers will be drawn in and encouraged by the wonderful photographs and easy to follow format. Complex medical decision making is never easy, but Dr. Lowenstein’s empathy shines through in these pages so that readers will have the experience of having a concerned, patient and skilled physician to guide them.

Thank you to our wonderful patient for the feedback- we are so happy for you! 💫

“I consulted Dr. Lowenstein with a complex case of occipital neuralgia complicated by two failed attempts at treatment in Canada with cryoablation of both my greater and lesser occipital nerves. My problem required two separate surgical procedures with Dr. Lowenstein to excise the affected areas. I found Dr. Lowenstein on-line and was impressed with his website and explanatory videos and also numerous positive reviews. As a physician myself, I was particularly impressed with his honesty and communication skills. I have had a significant and life-changing improvement in my headaches since the procedures and have nothing but the highest praise for this man.” - W.S.
