Long-COVID Symptom Relief
Using Stellate Ganglion Block (SBG)
Roughly 40% of people who have had COVID-19 have suffered long-term effects, according to a University of Michigan study. Recently researchers have turned to a procedure that has been in use since the 1920’s that may reduce many long-term symptoms of COVID-19, called the Stellate Ganglion Block.
The procedure takes less than 15 minutes, and allows patients to “reboot” their body by reestablishing the relationship between the nervous and immune systems.

Common Questions about Stellate Ganglion Block
By using a local anesthetic in the anterior region of the neck, targeting cervical sympathetic chain activity, a Stellate Ganglion Block allows for the body to reboot the autonomic nervous system by reducing fight or flight responses for roughly 24 hours.
The procedure is generally complete within 5-15 minutes.
While SGB is still a new treatment for long-COVID symptoms, studies have shown that SGB often last for a few months to a few years.
