-- IV Solution & Ketamine Centers of Chicago offers Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment at North Dearborn, a three-minute drive from River North, for patients suffering from stress and anxiety. This medical procedure targets the stellate ganglion, a nerve cluster in the neck that regulates the body's stress response system.

SGB involves applying a local anesthetic to normalize the sympathetic nervous system, which often functions abnormally in people with anxiety disorders and PTSD. The treatment addresses symptoms such as persistent worry, sleep disturbances, and heightened alertness. Research supports its effectiveness, with a 2019 JAMA Psychiatry study showing SGB produced results twice as significant as placebo treatments.
The scientific foundation for SGB is substantial, with 15 original studies published since 2008 documenting its successful application for PTSD symptoms. This body of research has established SGB as a treatment option with strong clinical evidence, particularly for patients who haven't responded adequately to conventional therapies.
Patients with more complex conditions can receive combined therapy approaches, including both SGB and ketamine treatments. The medical team includes specialized nurses, therapists, and technicians who coordinate care with patients' primary healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive treatment planning and continuity of care.
The center partners with Dr. Eugene Lipov, who brings experience from over 3,000 SGB procedures with reported 80% success rates for PTSD symptoms. Each treatment session uses ultrasound guidance for accuracy and typically concludes within 30 minutes. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return to normal activities shortly afterward.
Medical Director Dr. Bal Nandra oversees the facility, bringing 25 years of clinical practice as an anesthesiologist trained at the University of Chicago. The center has administered more than 15,000 ketamine infusions since opening in 2017, establishing it as the most experienced ketamine provider in the Midwest. Dr. Nandra's work in mental health earned recognition through the 2022 NAMI Chicago award and the 2024 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, acknowledged by Congress for mental health innovation.
