Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) — a medical procedure that effectively treats symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — is an injection of local anesthetic in the neck to temporarily block the cervical sympathetic chain which controls the body’s fight-or-flight response. 💉🚫🏃♀️🏃♂️
SGB has been safely used for over 80 years for many other reasons but was discovered ten years ago to provide relief of PTSD symptoms as well. 🕰️⚕️ Since that time, along with a handful of other physicians, I have pioneered the use of SGB for treating posttraumatic stress within the US Army. 🎖️🇺🇸 Due to its safety, success rate, and rapid onset of relief, SGB has gained wide acceptance in several locations at US military hospitals where it has been available. 🏥🌍
