Trastorno de estrés postraumático
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as violence, abuse, natural disaster, or military combat. Some people recover on their own, but others may struggle to recover and require help. You don’t have to struggle alone.
Our body’s natural fight-or-flight response can become overactive after a traumatic event, and can cause symptoms such as:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Intrusive thoughts
- Hypervigilance
- Dissociation or being emotionally numb
- Memory problems
- Negative thoughts about yourself or others.
- Irritability
Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) Treatment
There is a cluster of nerves at the base of your neck called the Stellate Ganglion that regulates your fight-or-flight response (Sympathetic Nervous System). Injecting a local anesthetic into the Stellate Ganglion can help reset your Sympathetic System by blocking “stress signals” and allowing the parts of your brain involved in your fight-or-flight response to reset, in turn calming your hyperarousal symptoms.
You don’t have to struggle alone.
