Atlanto-occipital joint blocks

Atlanto-occipital joint blocks are a type of diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to treat pain that originates from the atlanto-occipital joint (AOJ), which is the joint between the first cervical vertebra (the atlas) and the base of the skull (the occipital bone). This joint plays an important role in the movement of the head and neck, and pain or dysfunction in this area can cause significant discomfort.
