@178anatomy: PAIN AT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD MAY NOT ALWAYS START WHERE YOU FEEL IT. The greater occipital nerve travels from the upper cervical region toward the back of the scalp. In some patterns, irritation or mechanical sensitivity along this pathway may contribute to pain felt higher up near the base or back of the head. Not every headache comes from the neck — but the location of the pain is not always the whole story. #Headache #OccipitalNerve #NeckPain #CervicalSpine
