A recent recipient of the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) procedure with our partner Stella Mental Health, here is what she had to say about how she felt after the injection. “…had the Dual Sympathetic Reset (bilateral SGB) procedure myself. I can go on for quite a bit about the changes I experienced - some were immediate effects and others I'm noticing as life goes on. To just name a few: little to no tension points in my breath and chest, improved quality of sleep, and an overall sense of calm without any mental "fogginess". In fact, I'm inclined to say I've experienced an increase in clarity because the mental "noise" of anxiety has been turned way down. Life still presents its usual ups and downs, but I'm finding I like both my physical and mental responses much more than I did in the previous years.” __________ If the veteran in your life is living with anxiety and post-traumatic stress, reach out to Acadiana Veteran Alliance to begin your journey to a better place.

John How, MD, RMSK, Medical Director at Stella Encinitas and Stella Irvine explains a few lesser known benefits patients experience after getting SGB with us. Stellate Ganglion Blocks (SGB) can help people combat debilitating mental health symptoms like anxiety and panic. Have you heard of SGB injections? SGB is FDA approved for pain management, including supporting people through chemotherapy and menopause. Our SGB treatment is considered off-label because it treats PTSD, anxiety and depression and is an advanced protocol. But what does that mean? Stella's Chief Medical Officer, Eugene Lipov M.D. Lipov, performed thousands of SGB's in his career for on-label symptoms & conditions. After hearing that one of his patients got relief from their PTSD symptoms, he started researching. Decades later, we call it the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) and have treated over 10,000 people for their mental health. Thanks to ultrasound guidance, clinical studies and medical innovations, we can start to heal mental health symptoms with a simple 15 minute treatment that has been around since the 1920s. #stellamentalhealth #stellateganglionblock #anxiety #ptsd #interventionalpsychiatry

"You think of PTSD or a traumatic event is something terrible that you just experienced like war, or a police-involved shooting, or a terrible accident. It could be a lot of little things over the years that just accumulate. For some of us it’s hard to release that stress, and it gets too heavy, and I think that’s with a lot of first responders.” - Melinda Linas, Chicago Police Department Commander Listen to Commander Melinda Linas discuss the?status of mental health in first responders and how Stella's stellate ganglion block can change, and save, lives: https://lnkd.in/gbfrKm6v
