Understanding PTSD: Beyond the Trauma

 

PTSD is not a sign of weakness—it's the body's natural reaction to unnatural experiences. From witnessing violence to surviving accidents or long-term abuse, trauma changes the brain’s wiring, often keeping the body stuck in fight-or-flight mode. These changes can result in a wide range of symptoms, including:

​

• Intrusive Thoughts and Flashbacks
  Memories that resurface suddenly, making it feel like you’re reliving the trauma all over again.
   

• Avoidance Behaviors and Emotional Numbing
  Withdrawing from relationships, activities, or conversations that could trigger reminders of the event.
   

• Hypervigilance and Sleep Disturbances
  Constantly being on edge, struggling to sleep, or overreacting to stimuli.
   

• Negative Thoughts and Mood Shifts
  Persistent guilt, shame, anger, or hopelessness, often accompanied by trouble concentrating or feeling joy.
   

Left untreated, PTSD can affect nearly every aspect of life—from career performance and academic success to the quality of your relationships and physical health. At MRHS, we take this seriously, which is why we center your care around interventions that address both the neurological and emotional roots of PTSD.

Stellate Ganglion Block: A Reset for the Nervous System

 

The stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a powerful and underutilized treatment for PTSD that directly targets the sympathetic nervous system. By injecting a local anesthetic into a specific group of nerves located in the neck (the stellate ganglion), SGB helps “reset” the fight-or-flight response, calming the body and reducing the intensity of PTSD symptoms—immediately after the block.

​

How It Works

 

The stellate ganglion is a bundle of nerves involved in regulating stress, anxiety, and many bodily functions affected by trauma. When trauma disrupts this system, it can lead to chronic overstimulation, hypervigilance, and emotional dysregulation. By blocking this nerve cluster, SGB offers:

​

• Rapid Symptom Relief
  Many patients report dramatic improvements in anxiety, sleep, and emotional regulation.  Resetting the fight or flight response (sympathetic nervous system) removes the physical symptoms like racing heart, chest pain, and generalized feeling of needing to escape them in the body caused by the traumatic thought.  People describe it as the thoughts no longer creating that overwhelming unease in the body.

​

• Minimal Side Effects
  As a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure, SGB involves little downtime and has few risks.
   

• Long-Lasting Results
  The effects can last for several months, and the procedure can be repeated if necessary.
   

• Complementary Benefits
  SGB can make therapy more effective by reducing physical barriers to healing, such as anxiety or panic.
   

This treatment is gaining attention from veterans’ groups, trauma specialists, and neurological researchers alike for its ability to deliver results where other methods may fall short.

Comprehensive PTSD Treatment Beyond the Block

 

While the stellate ganglion block is a key pillar of our treatment strategy, we understand that healing from PTSD often requires a multi-modal approach. That's why MRHS offers a range of innovative therapies to complement and enhance the effectiveness of SGB:

​

• Ketamine-Assisted Virtual Reality Therapy

• Combine the fast-acting neuroplasticity effects of ketamine with guided VR experiences for trauma reprocessing and emotional release.
   

• IV Infusion Therapy
  Targeted relief through intravenous blends that support mood, calm the nervous system, and reduce inflammation.

​

• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Stimulate neural pathways in underactive regions of the brain, often responsible for mood regulation and cognitive function.

​

• AMPA Receptor Modulation
  Enhance brain plasticity through protocols targeting specific neural receptors involved in learning and recovery.
   

• SAINT Protocol & NeuroStar TMS
  These advanced protocols are FDA-cleared and clinically shown to provide rapid relief from depression and trauma-related symptoms.
   

Together with SGB, these therapies form a powerful ecosystem for healing—one that addresses trauma on neurological, psychological, and physical levels.
