Your Place for Hope & Healing
Stellate Ganglion Block has helped many of our patients find relief and healing for a variety of physical, mental, and emotional traumas. If you have been suffering, Ketamine & Wellness Clinic of South Florida can help, treating you as a whole person to create deep, lasting results.
What is a Stellate Ganglion Block?
Stellate Ganglion Block is a low-risk, fast, and highly effective medical procedure that involves the application of a local anesthetic to the front area of the neck. SGB targets the cervical sympathetic chain, which can reset compromised parts of the nervous systems in ways other treatments cannot.
SGB has been shown to create positive results for people suffering from:
PTSD
Long-COVID Symptoms
Loss of Taste & Smell
Brain Fog
Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Hyperhidrosis

If you suffer from PTSD, Stellate Ganglion Block can have dramatic positive effects.
If you had a directly threatening experience or witnessed the suffering of someone else, you might be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Stellate Ganglion Block has proven effective for treating PTSD symptoms, and unlike traditional treatments, Stellate Ganglion Block can bring relief in minutes or hours vs. months.
At Ketamine & Wellness Clinic of South Florida, we treat you as a complete person, looking beyond individual diagnosis to consider and treat holistic factors such as:
Stressful Experiences
Family History of Disorders
Temperament
Personal Hormone Regulation
PTSD can make you feel hopeless, but by combining SGB with other proven treatments & therapies, we can successfully lessen the severity of symptoms.
Has COVID left you with altered taste, smell, or mental sharpness? Stellate Ganglion Block can get it back.
A significant percentage of people who had COVID-19 have reported lingering symptoms that affect focus and quality of life. If you have experienced long-term effects, you are not alone–and SGB can help.
Stellate Ganglion Block brings real change and healing for these chronic long-COVID symptoms:
Reduced or altered sense of smell
Reduced ability to taste
Brain Fog
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

SGB Can Also Successfully Treat:
Complex Regional Pain Sydrome (CRPS)
Continuous burning or throbbing pain, usually in the arm, leg, hand or foot
Sensitivity to touch or cold
Swelling of the painful area
Changes in skin temperature or color
Joint stiffness, swelling, and damage
Hyperhidrosis
The main symptom of hyperhidrosis is heavy sweating–beyond sweating typical of being in a hot environment, exercising, or feeling anxious or stressed.
Hyperhidrosis usually causes an episode of excessive sweating affecting the hands, feet, underarms or face at least once a week during the day, typically occurring on both sides of the body.
Unexplained night sweats are also common.
