Huntsville doctor offers alternative PTSD treatments, local veteran calls it “life-changing”

A Huntsville clinic is offering stellate ganglion block injections as an alternative treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Charles Lee says the ultrasound-guided anesthetic injection near nerves in the neck may ease the body’s stress response, and he sometimes combines it with hyperbaric oxygen or ketamine therapy. Army veteran Caleb Stine says treatment helped him sleep and reduced his anxiety. The approach is drawing five to 10 patients weekly, including people from out of state.
