Common features of these conditions

Beyond PTSD and pain, Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) can help regulate body systems affected by sympathetic overactivity.

SGB can influence multiple autonomic functions, providing relief in conditions where the sympathetic nervous ("fight-or-flight") system is overstimulated. By restoring balance in the sympathetic network, SGB promotes improved regulation, calm, and physiological stability.

While diverse, these other conditions often share:

  • Overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system
  • Symptoms that worsen with stress or nerve dysfunction
  • Physical or sensory disturbances beyond standard medical explanations
  • Resistance to conventional treatment approaches

Conditions that may benefit from SGB

  • Diagnostic use in pain syndromes — to confirm whether sympathetic nerves are driving pain
  • Facial & upper extremity pain — including persistent pain linked to nerve dysfunction or trauma
  • Refractory angina — chest pain not relieved by standard treatments, due to blood flow issues
  • Ménière’s disease — dizziness, vertigo, and balance disturbance linked to inner ear dysfunction
  • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) — caused by abnormal sympathetic activity
  • Menopause-related flushing — easing hot flushes and night sweats resistant to other therapies
  • Long-COVID symptoms — including fatigue, brain fog, and dysautonomia, thought to be linked to autonomic imbalance
  • Post-concussion syndrome / TBI-related dysautonomia — including cognitive fog, headaches, and autonomic symptoms after traumatic brain injury or concussion
  • Poor blood flow — vascular-related symptoms where improving circulation supports recovery
  • Vascular pain syndromes — conditions like Raynaud’s and vascular insufficiency pain may respond to improved blood flow post-SGB

Our experienced clinicians use SGB in carefully selected cases where conventional therapies haven’t worked.

How can we help

By calming the sympathetic nervous system, SGB may reduce symptoms, improve circulation, and restore balance in complex conditions.
