The Process of Stellate Ganglion Block
step 1
Consultation
Before treatment, your provider will schedule a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, they will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and explain what to expect from the procedure.
step 2
Preparation & Anesthesia
On the day of the procedure, you may receive a mild sedative to help you relax. As you lie comfortably on your back, your provider will cleanse the skin at the front of your neck with an antiseptic solution.
step 3
The Injection & Monitoring
Using ultrasound guidance for precision, your provider will carefully insert a thin needle near the stellate ganglion. A local anesthetic is then administered to block overactive nerve signals. Your vital signs will be monitored throughout.
step 4
Aftercare
Once the medication is delivered, the procedure is complete. The entire visit typically takes about 30 minutes. You will be observed briefly afterward and given instructions before returning home the same day.
