What is Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the body’s sympathetic nervous system, helping to reset the overactive fight-or-flight response that contributes to PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress disorders. The procedure involves an ultrasound-guided injection into the stellate ganglion, a cluster of nerves in the neck that influence stress regulation.
For many patients, SGB provides rapid relief, sometimes within hours, and its effects can last for months.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]
How SGB Works for PTSD and Anxiety
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]Chronic stress and trauma can keep the nervous system locked in a hyperarousal state, leading to:
- Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened anxiety
- Sleep disturbances, nightmares, and difficulty relaxing
- Emotional dysregulation and chronic stress
- Increased sensitivity to environmental triggers
SGB works by interrupting this cycle, allowing the nervous system to reset. Studies have shown that SGB provides long-term symptom relief, particularly for individuals with PTSD who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Cost is $1000.00 per block

The Treatment Process
- Consultation and Assessment – Our team evaluates whether SGB is a suitable treatment for your symptoms.
- Ultrasound-Guided Injection – A local anesthetic is carefully injected into the stellate ganglion, disrupting the stress response.
- Immediate Recovery – Most patients experience noticeable improvements within hours and can resume normal activities the same day.
Results can last anywhere from three to six months or longer, depending on the individual.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is SGB Therapy Safe?”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1743020078066{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]SGB is a well-researched, minimally invasive procedure with a strong safety profile. However, as with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects, including:
- Temporary hoarseness or difficulty swallowing
- Mild dizziness or lightheadedness
- Rare risks, such as bleeding, hematoma, or infection
Our medical team takes every precaution to ensure a safe and smooth procedure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What Are The Results and Patient Outcomes?”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1743020187994{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]Research on SGB has demonstrated:

- Two SGB treatments, two weeks apart, can reduce PTSD symptoms for up to eight weeks.
- SGB may also reduce suicidal ideation in individuals struggling with PTSD-related distress.
