Stellate Ganglion Block: Relief for Chronic and Neuropathic PaiN

The stellate ganglion is a bundle of nerves in the neck that influences pain signals, blood flow, and other automatic body functions. When this nerve cluster becomes overactive, it can contribute to chronic pain and a range of debilitating symptoms.

At Canyon Pain and Wellness, our fellowship-trained provider performs stellate ganglion block (SGB) procedures to calm these overactive nerves. We aim to help patients find relief, restore balance, and regain quality of life.

Conditions that may benefit from SGB treatment include:

• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
• Chronic regional pain syndrome, Types I and II of upper extremities (CRPS I and II).
• Vascular insufficiencies (Raynaud’s disease).
• Post-herpetic neuralgia.
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) upper body, arms, or face.
• Phantom pain in the upper body.
• Ischemic cardiac pain
• Trigeminal neuralgia, Bell’s palsy, and orofacial pain
• Cluster headache, vascular headache, migraine headache.
• Neuropathic pain syndromes in cancer pain.
• Fibromyalgia
• Cardiac arrhythmias, including idiopathic long Q-T syndrome. 

Emerging Use for Long COVID Relief:
Stellate ganglion blocks have also shown promise in improving long COVID symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, and shortness of breath. Many patients notice improvement within minutes of the injection.
