STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK
A stellate ganglion block (SGB) is an injection of numbing medicine into the nerves in the neck to treat a variety of conditions:
- Pain: SGBs can help relieve pain in the head, neck, chest, or arm caused by conditions like reflex sympathetic dystrophy, nerve injury, shingles, or angina.
- Circulation: SGBs can improve blood flow in patients with vascular disease.
- PTSD: SGBs are being studied as a treatment for PTSD because the stellate ganglion is connected to the amygdala, a brain region that may be overactive in PTSD.
- Anxiety: SGBs may help with anxiety symptoms associated with PTSD.
- Menopausal hot flashes: SGBs may help with vasomotor symptoms associated with hot flashes.
- Long COVID: SGBs may help treat symptoms of long COVID, such as fatigue, brain fog, and loss of smell.

C1 Plexus Hydrodissection
C1 plexus hydrodissection is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound guidance to inject fluid around a nerve to release it from compression or entrapment. The procedure can help with pain, tingling, and numbness caused by nerve entrapment. It can also help nerves heal, and in some cases, prevent the need for surgery.

Musculoskeletal ultra sound
A musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK ultrasound) is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows doctors to see muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and cartilage in real time. It can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions, including:
- Muscle tears
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Joint problems
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tumors or cysts
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Dislocations
MSK ultrasounds can also be used to guide injections and procedures, such as steroid injections and Morton’s neuroma injections.
