The Stellate Ganglion Block resets your body's stuck stress response — often in a single 15-minute treatment. Relief from PTSD, anxiety, and trauma symptoms can begin within hours, not months.
Living with PTSD can feel like being trapped in a body that will not stop reacting to danger that has already passed. The SGB helps your nervous system find its way back.
Constantly on edge, scanning for threats, unable to relax even when you are safe
Flashbacks and unwanted memories that replay without warning
Persistent worry, panic attacks, a constant sense of dread
Difficulty feeling emotions or connecting with loved ones
Insomnia, night terrors, exhaustion without rest
Overreacting to sounds, movements, or trauma reminders
When the SGB works, patients describe it the same way: the constant background noise just quiets down. You are still you — but the alarm system stops firing.
Engage with conversations, enjoy moments, actually be in the room instead of scanning it
Fall asleep without dread, stay asleep without nightmares, wake up rested
Let your guard down with the people who matter — feel emotions again without overwhelm
A private, no-pressure conversation about your symptoms and goals. Every question answered. You decide if and when to proceed.
Performed under ultrasound guidance. You stay awake and comfortable. A warm feeling in your face and hand tells us the block is working.
Many patients feel calmer, more present, and less reactive the same day. The constant background anxiety begins to quiet — like a weight lifting.
The SGB works best alongside therapy. We coordinate with your mental health provider. Some patients benefit from a second treatment.
