Effective SGB Therapy For COVID-Related Loss Of Smell In Los Altos & SF Bay Area
by PRC Agency PRLosing your sense of smell and/or taste is just another of the struggles thrown our way by COVID-19, but there is an exciting new treatment.
It’s called stellate ganglion block (SGB), and if you live in the wider SF Bay Area, it’s now available from the Harvard-trained physicians at Soft Reboot Wellness.
The stellate ganglion is a bundle of nerves in your neck that plays an important role in your sympathetic nervous system. SGB treatment involves injecting a local anesthetic, and it’s showing great promise in treating COVID-related smell and taste problems.

That might sound a little alarming, but the treatments are given by Dr. Sara Herman, a Harvard trained physician and a board-certified cardiothoracic anesthesiologist. The first step is to discuss your situation with Dr. Herman, after which she can advise if SGB is suitable for you.
So, what does the science say? In one study, carried out by the University of South Florida, over 80% of patients suffering from long-term symptoms of COVID-19 reported improvements in smell and taste after receiving SGB treatment. The study concludes that, with no other approaches having yet been identified, SGB holds promise as an effective therapy.
While Soft Reboot Wellness has offered SGB treatments for anxiety-related struggles for some time, the clinic’s recent announcement comes in response to the growing body of evidence as it relates to smell and taste problems. Your treatment will be conducted in the Menlo Park-based clinic, with each visit lasting approximately 1 hour.
Read a case study here:
“At Soft Reboot Wellness, SGB is always administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, with expert knowledge of the anatomy of the neck and pharmacology related to the local anesthetic used in SGB,” Dr. Herman of Soft Reboot Wellness explains. “The treatment is safe and has helped our patients find meaningful relief from their PTSD symptoms.”
About Soft Reboot Wellness
In addition to SGB treatments, Soft Reboot Wellness is one of the leading IV ketamine infusion clinics in the wider San Francisco Bay Area. The center’s goal is to introduce the promising new approach of psychedelic medicine in an ethical and safe manner.
“I spent a long session with Dr. Sara where she did a thorough review of my goals, described the process, took my health and psychological history, and approved me for the therapy,” one client recently stated. “I recently did a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) and I've noticed a meaningful reduction in this kind of unwelcomed anxiety. The procedure felt trivial physically, just a bit of pressure on my neck during and a hoarse voice for about 6 hours afterwards.”
If you suffer from long-term smell and taste problems after COVID-19, there is a promising new therapy. See the team at Soft Reboot Wellness.
