What Is a Stellate Ganglion Block?

A Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is an injection targeting a cluster of nerves in the neck called the stellate ganglion, part of the sympathetic nervous system. By temporarily numbing this nerve bundle, SGB may help “reset” an overactive fight-or-flight response.

This therapy is being increasingly used in trauma recovery and integrative care, as many patients report rapid improvements in calmness, focus, and emotional regulation.

How SGB Works

Consultation & Imaging – A clinician evaluates your history and uses imaging guidance for precision.

Local Anesthetic Injection – Medication is carefully delivered to the stellate ganglion in the lower neck.

Sympathetic Reset – The numbing effect calms the sympathetic nervous system.

Potential Relief – Patients often report near-immediate feelings of calm and reduced stress responses.
