CONDITION
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as violence, abuse, natural disaster, or military combat. Some people recover on their own, but others may struggle to recover and require help. You don’t have to struggle alone.
The Aspire Approach
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain are closely connected, and each can make the other more difficult to manage. Living with PTSD may increase your awareness of pain, while ongoing pain can add to feelings of stress, anxiety, and emotional distress. Understanding this connection can help you take the first step toward finding treatments that address both your physical and emotional well-being, leading to improved quality of life.
At Aspire Pain Relief Institute, our experienced providers are trained in caring for patients with PTSD, including veterans, and take a comprehensive, personalized approach to help relieve pain, improve function, and support lasting recovery—without relying on opioids whenever possible.
Symptoms of PTSD
Our body’s natural fight-or-flight response can become overactive after a traumatic event, and can cause symptoms such as:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Intrusive thoughts
- Hypervigilance
- Dissociation or being emotionally numb
- Memory problems
- Negative thoughts about yourself or others.
- Irritability

Our Procedures
Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) Treatment
There is a cluster of nerves at the base of your neck called the Stellate Ganglion that regulates your fight-or-flight response (Sympathetic Nervous System). Injecting a local anesthetic into the Stellate Ganglion can help reset your Sympathetic System by blocking “stress signals” and allowing the parts of your brain involved in your fight-or-flight response to reset, in turn calming your hyperarousal symptoms.
You don’t have to struggle alone.
