Nearly one in five American adults who have contracted COVID-19 are grappling with its lingering effects, known as “Long COVID.” However, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon emanating from the innovative treatments being offered by Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD, and his team at Allied Neurology and Interventional Pain Practice!

Pervasive Issue: The Prevalence of Long COVID

Recent data collected between June 1 and June 13, 2023, by the U.S. Census Bureau and analyzed by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reveals:

• 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. is struggling with persistent symptoms of Long COVID.
• Older adults are somewhat insulated and less likely to experience lingering symptoms than younger adults.
• Women appear more susceptible than men to persistent symptoms—9.4% vs. 5.5%.
• The prevalence of persistent symptoms fluctuates among ethnic groups and states, with Hispanic adults and states like Kentucky and Alabama experiencing a notably higher incidence.

Groundbreaking Treatment at Allied Neurology and Interventional Pain Practice

In the face of such debilitating post-viral effects, Dr. Nasiek and his team have embarked on a mission to alleviate the suffering of those battling Long COVID. Leveraging a revolutionary but well-established and practiced approach known as the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for almost a century, Allied Neurology and Interventional Pain Practice is forging a new path toward healing and recovery.

What is SGB?

Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a treatment that promises a beacon of hope for those entangled in the persistent and often debilitating symptoms of Long COVID. It is an injection of local anesthetic into the ganglion of nerves along the cervical spine. Through strategic administration, SGB can mitigate extended physiological stress and associated symptoms that linger post-infection.
