If you've been battling the invisible scars of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you know how it can disrupt every aspect of life—sleep, relationships, work, and even simple daily joys. At Integrity Pain Practice, we're on a mission to help veterans, first responders, and anyone affected by trauma reclaim their peace. One of our most promising treatments? The stellate ganglion block (SGB) for PTSD—a minimally invasive procedure that's showing remarkable results in resetting the body's overactive stress response.As a leading pain management practice dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based care, we're proud to offer SGB as a cornerstone of our PTSD treatment options. In this post, we'll dive into what SGB is, why it's gaining traction, and how our team makes it accessible, safe, and affordable. If you're ready for real relief, keep reading—and know that help is just a call away.
PTSD often stems from the brain's sympathetic nervous system going into overdrive after trauma, keeping you in a constant state of "fight or flight." Traditional treatments like therapy and medication are invaluable, but for many, they don't fully address this physiological root.
Enter the stellate ganglion block: a targeted injection of local anesthetic into the stellate ganglion, a cluster of nerves in the neck that regulates the body's stress signals. By temporarily "resetting" these nerves, SGB can dramatically reduce hyperarousal symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, hypervigilance, and insomnia—often within hours or days.
Research and real-world outcomes are encouraging. Studies from institutions like the Department of Veterans Affairs have shown that up to 70-80% of patients experience significant symptom relief after just one or two sessions. It's not a cure-all, but it's a game-changer for those who've felt stuck in their recovery journey. And the best part? The procedure itself takes less than 30 minutes, with effects that can last months.
At Integrity Pain Practice, we believe in putting patients first—every single time. We're not just another clinic; we're a team of board-certified pain management specialists trained at the world's top programs, including Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic. Our physicians bring decades of expertise in interventional procedures, ensuring precision, safety, and personalized care tailored to your unique needs.
Here's what sets us apart:
Our patients rave about the difference: "After years of struggling, one SGB session lifted a weight I didn't know I was carrying," shares veteran and recent patient Mark T. "The team at Integrity Pain made it feel safe and straightforward."
PTSD doesn't have to define you, and neither does the fear of trying something new. The stellate ganglion block is a beacon of hope for many, and at Integrity Pain Practice, we're here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're exploring options for the first time or seeking a trusted partner for ongoing care, our door is open.
