What we treat
At Stella, our doctors specialise in an advanced version the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure.
This elective procedure (learn more here) is Not Free. It is conducted with a specialist in a hospital setting. It is a block administered under image guidance specifically designed to help reset an overactive fight-or-flight response, which research now shows is a key driver behind persistent PTSD symptoms and nervous system dysregulation. This can help the body achieve a sense of calm, stability and general well-being. The procedure's rationale and safety profile is discussed in this article.

Locations across Australia
Stella's providers are small network of carefully selected medical practioners due to their expertise and commitment to innovative medical interventions.
Each doctor operates within an accredited Private hospital/facility - it is not a stella centre controlled unit. It is intentional that they are not advertised here. It reduces confusion because they operate within their own private practice and the facilities are not branded/owned by Stella.
We currently offer treatment in Melbourne, Sydney and very limited capacity on the Gold Coast . Melbourne is our HQ facility at Monash House Private and offers Stella theatre lists on a regular schedule to help with insterstate bookings.
Before obtaining a referral, it's imperative you get in touch or call 03 9021 6262 to find out the most suitable Stella provider or read our FAQ to learn more.
