Richard’s Journey – Relief from Occipital Neuralgia

After a devastating car accident over five years ago, Richard found himself battling relentless headaches and neck pain. The cause? Occipital Neuralgia—a condition that left him with sharp, stabbing pain above his right eye and intense aches across his scalp and the back of his neck. The pain made everyday activities like driving nearly impossible.

Despite visiting skilled physicians and undergoing multiple lumbar surgeries, nothing relieved the pain. That changed when a friend referred Richard to Dr. Demetrio Aguila, a pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon who specializes in treating occipital neuralgia.

“There’s not a lot out there when you start looking for specialists in this,” Richard shared. “So it was a huge relief to find Dr. Aguila.”

Richard underwent a procedure to remove the damaged Greater and Third Occipital Nerves—and the results were life-changing.

“It was the easiest surgery I’ve ever had,” Richard said. “And it worked. I’m amazed at how quickly it took care of my pain.”

After years of frustration, financial burden, and suffering, Richard found the solution he never thought existed. Today, he's pain-free, off medications, and back to living his life.

He now encourages others with occipital neuralgia to seek help.

“If you’ve been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia, you don’t have to live with it. There is hope. Find the right specialist—and for me, that was Dr. Aguila.”
