PTSD Treatment

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can cause lasting distress, affecting daily life, sleep, and emotional well-being. At HealthQuest Wellness, we offer Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) therapy to help reset the nervous system and provide lasting relief.

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by trauma, often leading to hypervigilance, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.

At HealthQuest Wellness, we use Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) therapy to help reset the sympathetic nervous system, offering relief from PTSD symptoms and supporting long-term emotional balance.

Regain Control
Over PTSD Symptoms

SGB offers a groundbreaking, medication-free approach to PTSD by calming the overactive sympathetic nervous system. This minimally invasive procedure can lead to:

  • Rapid symptom relief within hours to days
  • Improved mood, anxiety levels, and sleep quality
  • Long-lasting results, often persisting for months or more
  • A non-medication alternative for individuals resistant to traditional treatments

Addressing PTSD
& Related Conditions

SGB therapy has been shown to help those struggling with PTSD and related neurological conditions. We frequently treat:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Persistent distress following trauma
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Excessive worry and heightened stress response
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Neurological symptoms from head trauma
  • COVID Long-Haul Syndrome: Lingering stress-related symptoms post-COVID

A Targeted Approach
to Nervous System Reset

The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) procedure is precise and efficient. Here’s what to expect:

  1. A local anesthetic is injected near the stellate ganglion in the neck
  2. This temporarily numbs the sympathetic nerves, reducing hyperarousal
  3. Many patients feel relief within hours or days, with effects lasting months or longer
  4. Repeat injections may be recommended for sustained benefits

This therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to conventional PTSD treatments, helping patients regain stability and well-being.

The Science Behind
SGB & PTSD Relief

PTSD is linked to overactivation of the limbic system, particularly the amygdala and hippocampus. SGB therapy helps by:

  • Temporarily numbing sympathetic nerves to "reset" fight-or-flight responses
  • Reducing excessive activity in the amygdala, which processes fear and emotions
  • Improving blood flow to the brain, supporting cognitive and emotional function
  • Enhancing the effects of traditional therapy by lowering baseline stress levels

This innovative approach is increasingly used in clinical settings, particularly for veterans and individuals who haven’t responded to conventional treatments.
