About this Event
Join us for an enlightening evening with Kuya’s Medical Director and board-certified
anesthesiologist, Dr. Aaron Ali, as we discuss the powerful applications of Stellate
Ganglion Block (SGB) Therapy, a groundbreaking modality to help reset an overactive
"fight-or-flight" response and support emotional well-being.
This simple 5-minute procedure administers a local anesthetic near the stellate
ganglion nerve—a cluster of sympathetic nerves in the neck—to calm the nervous
system and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety, to possibly include:
- Rapid heartbeat enduced by stress
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty sleeping
- Depression
- Hypervigilance or feeling on edge
- Reduced self-worth
- Irritability
- Difficulties concentrating
- Long COVID: fatigue, brain fog, or lack of smell
Kuya is proud to be one of the only wellness centers in Austin to offer SGB Therapy.
Come learn how this procedure can help reset your nervous system and alleviate hyperactive responses to stress and anxiety.
Event Overview
Dr. Ali will share his expertise in a concise lecture that covers the science behind SGB
Therapy, its benefits, and how it has profoundly impacted patients. Following the
lecture, you’ll hear personal stories from individuals who have experienced SGB Therapy
firsthand at Kuya.
