Treating pain with a Stellate Ganglion Block in Lakeland, Florida

A stellate ganglion nerve block is an injection of medicine that numbs branches of nerves in the neck. The procedure helps doctors diagnose the cause and treat pain in the head, neck, arms, and chest. The nerves travel along both sides of the spine and are a part of the sympathetic nervous system and are associated with a wide range of bodily functions such as heart rate, sweating, and pupil dilation.
