Is Stellate Ganglion Block Right for Me?

What are you actually hoping will change?

Questions to bring up, not qualifying criteria or predictions of benefit.

• “Do I feel physically stuck on alert even when I know I am safe?”
• “Are trauma-related symptoms showing up as a body-level fight-or-flight response?”
• “Is sleep being disrupted by persistent hyperarousal?”
• “Have I tried appropriate care and still have questions about another option?”

If your main concern is something else, tell Kendall. SGB may not be the right conversation.

What would make this a more complicated conversation?

Mention these before any procedure discussion. None is a self-diagnosis or an automatic answer; Kendall reviews your history, medications, goals, prior care, and procedure-specific risks.

• Blood-thinning medications or bleeding risk
• Active infection near the injection site
• Pregnancy
• Allergy to local anesthetic
• Certain neck, airway, or neurologic circumstances
• When another form of care may be safer or more appropriate

What SGB can’t promise

What to bring to the conversation

It helps to think through these before speaking with Kendall Miller, CRNA, who personally screens inquiries.

• Current medications
• Relevant medical history
• Care you have already tried
• Symptoms and goals you want to discuss
• Referring clinician or clinic name, if applicable

Keep detailed medical information out of the website form. Discuss it directly with the provider.

Were you referred by a clinician?

A referral gives Kendall useful context; it does not determine candidacy. Mention your clinician or clinic name when you contact us.
