Its superficial location and the use of ultrasound make this a precise, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What materials are used?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1632393900424-eb1a619b-e03e&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Portable ultrasound machine with a high-frequency linear transducer.<\/li>\n<li>Fine needle.<\/li>\n<li>Local anesthetic.<\/li>\n<li>Corticosteroid (in selected headache cases).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Indications&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1632394152151-9099eb27-86cf&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\nThis treatment can help with various headache types.
