Occipital Neuralgia/ Occipital Neuritis: The greater occipital nerve is the main nerve that serves the back of the head or the scalp. This nerve, located on each side of the base of the skull, arises from the roots of the nerves of the upper-most portion of the spinal cord inside of the spinal column. The occipital nerves provide sensation and muscular strength to the muscles in the scalp at the back of the head behind the ears.
