What Is A Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)?
The 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. The procedure is an Ultrasound guided technique performed by a skillfully trained specialist. This anesthetic procedure targets the cervical sympathetic chain, allowing the body to reset and parts of the nervous systems that may be compromised.

Our team of clinicians at Ketamine & Wellness Clinic of South Florida can complete a Stellate Ganglion Block in around an hour and a half. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed quickly once our patients are prepped and ready for treatment.
