Background: An 18-year-old Caucasian female presented for treatment 8 months after a rear impact car crash. She complained of cervical spine pain, pain at the base of the skull, and headaches which began at the base of the skull and radiated bilaterally to the back of the
skull and above the ears.

Methods: The patient was treated with ozone injections to the suboccipital and upper cervical paraspinal musculature.

Results: The patient reported a 90% decrease in headache frequency and intensity over a 90-day period following the injections.

Conclusion: Properly diagnosed, unremitting head and neck pain can respond favorably to ozone injection therapy when other standard conservative treatment options have failed.
