What is a Stellate Ganglion Block?

 

The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a sympathetic nervous system “Re-Boot,” used to treat symptoms of anxiety, long-term pain syndromes and stress disorders. The SGB has helped former naval and military personnel recover from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following their return to civilian society. In nearly all of the cases that it was used, the SGB was found to have a significant impact on decreasing levels of depression, anxiety and improving the mental health of patients. Since its prominent success in the military community, the SGB has been used to treat a multitude of other behavioral illnesses and disorders. Additionally, athletes have begun to use the SGB to synchronize their brain and body so that they can perform optimally in competition.

Many people face a daily struggle with depression, stress, and anxiety, which prevents them from being physically and emotionally present in their everyday life. If you are someone who feels these symptoms, and may struggle with other issues including insomnia, fogginess, irritability, etc., or you are an athlete who is looking to sharpen your mental acuity and heighten your reflexes, schedule a consultation with us to determine if the SGB is right for you.​
