A stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of nerve-related pain and conditions involving the sympathetic nervous system.

At Alpenglow Pain & Wellness, we offer stellate ganglion block treatment in Anchorage to help reduce pain, improve function, and support patients with complex nerve-related conditions.

What Is a Stellate Ganglion Block?

A stellate ganglion block is an injection that targets a group of nerves in the neck called the stellate ganglion.

These nerves are part of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls functions such as:

Pain signaling
Blood flow
Stress response

By blocking these nerve signals, SGB can help reduce certain types of chronic pain and related symptoms.
