What is Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy?
SGB is a simple, non-invasive treatment that helps to “reset” the body’s nervous system. It can be especially helpful for people dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, and conditions like PTSD and Long COVID. By targeting the nervous system’s “fight or flight” response, SGB can bring lasting relief.
How SGB Helps with PTSD
For people suffering from PTSD, SGB has shown promising results. Clinical studies have shown that it can help improve symptoms by balancing the nervous system’s response. The video includes real-life examples of how patients have benefited from this treatment, helping them take control of their mental health and emotional well-being.
Relief for Long COVID Symptoms
SGB also offers hope for people still battling the effects of Long COVID, including fatigue, loss of taste or smell, and problems with the autonomic nervous system. The video dives into the latest research, showing how this therapy can provide relief for those struggling with these persistent symptoms.
How the Procedure Works
SGB is performed using a special ultrasound technique to guide a small injection near the nerves in the neck. The procedure is safe, with minimal risk of side effects, and usually requires two sessions spaced two weeks apart. The video shows what the procedure looks like, so patients can feel more confident and informed.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Beyond SGB, Dr. Fishman emphasizes a holistic approach to patient care. He combines SGB with other personalized treatments to make sure every patient receives the most effective care possible.
