What is it?

A Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a safe, minimally invasive injection in your neck to help reduce your body’s “fight-or-flight” responses and improve vagal tone. This helps to reset your body’s response to pain, stress, and temperature regulation.

Who is it for?

  • Chronic Pain Syndromes – helps reduce swelling and sensitivity in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and Post Herpetic Neuralgia
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Trauma Related Anxiety – helps reduce sleep disturbance, hypervigilance and panic attacks
  • Menopausal Hot Flashes that disrupt your life – especially when hormone therapy is not an option

What happens after the injection?

  • Some feel better within hours
  • Some need a few sessions
  • Some notice their therapy, sleep, relationships feel calmer

We’ll help you figure out if this is an option for you.
