List of Doctors for Occipital Nerve Stimulation

Written by Banner307

28 February 2013

This is a list of doctors involved with headache treatment using occipital and/or peripheral nerve stimulators. The list is not comprehensive; there are many more doctors out there.

If you have another doctor to add to the list, please email me at onstim@gmail.com.

Written by huskyboys

26 January 2010

Instead of the conventional treatment of nerve-cutting, the C-2 nerve root along with the ganglion and postgangionic nerve are decompressed (released from compression by blood vessels) via a 2-cm skin incision. Unlike the conventional surgery of nerve sectioning, Dr. Jho's operation is physiological because he does not sacrifice the nerve.
