Stellate Ganglion Block NYC for Neck, Arm, and Face Pain

Are you experiencing excruciating agony in your arm, shoulder, or neck? Is one side of your face bloated, chilly, or heated all the time? The issue may be with your sympathetic nerves, particularly those around your neck.

In order to reduce nerve overactivity and address pain at its origin, 5th Avenue Medical Wellness provides safe, non-surgical Stellate Ganglion Block injections in New York City. It’s done correctly in our clinic, quickly, and precisely.

What Is a Stellate Ganglion Block?

An injection that targets a cluster of nerves in the front of your neck is called a stellate ganglion block. In your head, neck, chest, and arms, these nerves aid in regulating blood flow, perspiration, and pain signals.

Those nerves can become hyperactive at times. Even in the absence of an injury, this may result in persistent pain, temperature fluctuations, or edema.

In order for your body to repair and reset, the injection helps “turn off” the pain signals.

Conditions Treated with Stellate Ganglion Block Injections

This treatment helps with:

• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in the upper body
• Facial pain and swelling
• Post-surgery or trauma nerve pain
• Hot flashes (in some cases)
• Arm or hand pain that doesn’t go away
• Pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia)

If you’ve had pain that stays on one side of your body or doesn’t respond to normal treatments, this may be your next step.

How Stellate Ganglion Block Injections Work

When your sympathetic nerves become overactive, they keep sending pain signals to your brain — even when nothing’s wrong. This keeps your muscles tense, your skin sensitive, and your pain constant.

The injection delivers numbing medicine directly to the stellate ganglion. This helps block the pain signals and gives the nerves time to reset.

Many patients feel warmth in the face or arm after the injection — a good sign that the nerves are calming down.

What’s Inside a Stellate Ganglion Block Injection?

The injection usually includes:

• A local anesthetic to numb the nerves
• A steroid (sometimes) to reduce inflammation

We use ultrasound or fluoroscopy to guide the needle with precision. This keeps the treatment safe, accurate, and low-risk.

What to Expect During the Stellate Ganglion Block Procedure

The procedure is fast and done right here at our Midtown NYC clinic. Here’s how it works:

• You lie on your back, and we support your neck comfortably
• The area is cleaned and numbed
• A thin needle is guided to the nerve area in your neck
• The medicine is injected slowly
• You’ll rest for a bit while we monitor your response

The whole visit takes less than 30 minutes. Most people go home the same day and feel better soon after.
