OCCIPITAL NEURALGIA
Occipital neuralgia is a rare type of chronic
headache disorder. It is defined as pain in the
occiput - or back of the head. That pain is in
the area of the branches of nerves in the back of
the head, the occipital nerves.

IS STEM CELL THERAPY EFFECTIVE
Stem cell treatment for nerve damage shows great
promise, and it offers significant benefits
compared to other, more traditional treatments
such as surgery. Studies show that it can reduce
the total damage to peripheral nerves and
improving tissue regeneration.
