Relief for Upper Arm and Chest Pain
Stellate ganglion block is an advanced interventional treatment that can be used to treat chronic head, neck, upper arm and chest pain. The procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic in the sympathetic nerve tissue of the neck. The injection serves to block the sympathetic nerves that go to the arms and to some degree, the face. The goal of the treatment is to reduce pain and improve mobility. This type of treatment is currently being used to treat a number of different chronic pain conditions, including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and Sympathetic Maintained Pain.
The physicians from Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians are highly experienced in administering stellate ganglion block injections, under the guidance of fluoroscopy. Using this advanced interventional treatment, we are able to help many patients with head, neck, upper arm and chest pain find relief from their symptoms, improved mobility and a greater quality of life.
Stellate ganglion block injections are typically performed in an outpatient surgery setting and take only a few minutes to complete. Typically, a series of ganglion block injections are needed to achieve maximum benefit.
