Reset Your Nervous System with Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy at Full Life Center

At Full Life Center, we offer Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) Therapy, a proven and effective treatment for managing chronic pain and various psychological conditions. This therapy can help reset your nervous system, providing relief and improving your quality of life.

What is Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy?

Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) Therapy involves injecting a local anesthetic around a set of nerves located on either side of the neck, known as the Stellate Ganglion. This set of nerves plays a crucial role in controlling the body’s Fight or Flight response. When this system becomes chronically activated, it can lead to symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, and other conditions. SGB Therapy can “reset” this system, helping to balance the nervous system and alleviate symptoms.

How Does Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy Work?

SGB is a low-risk procedure with a long history of use in the USA since 1925 for treating chronic pain and for the past 25 years in managing PTSD in soldiers. By injecting a local anesthetic around the Stellate Ganglion, SGB can effectively reset the Fight or Flight system that may be stuck in the “on” position, contributing to various symptoms and conditions.

What Happens During an Injection?

  • Preparation: You will lie on a procedure bed, and we will clean and disinfect the skin on your neck.
  • Guided Injection: Using constant ultrasound imaging guidance, a thin needle is carefully inserted to inject a numbing medication around the Stellate Ganglion.
  • Procedure Duration: The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes.

What Happens After a Stellate Ganglion Block?

After the procedure, you will stay in a recovery room for 30-60 minutes, where a healthcare professional will monitor you for any complications. We encourage you to relax during this time, and you will be given instructions for post-procedure care.
