That’s why the Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund of Philadelphia & Vicinity is proud to offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) & Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) through a vetted provider network, at your fingertips with Enthea.
Ketamine is a safe, FDA-approved anesthetic that has been used in hospitals and medical settings for over 50 years.
At low doses, it helps your brain break old patterns that cause depression, anxiety, PTSD, and emotional pain.
KAT combines low-dose ketamine treatments with therapy, helping you process what’s been bottled up - even when other treatments haven’t worked.
Think of PTSD like a circuit breaker that's stuck "on." Your brain's alarm system keeps firing even when there's no danger. SGB is like hitting the reset button on that circuit. It's a precise injection of numbing medicine (like what dentists use) into a bundle of nerves in your neck. These nerves control your body's "fight or flight" response. The injection temporarily blocks these nerves, giving your brain a chance to reset.
The whole thing takes 15 minutes. You stay awake the entire time. It tells your overworked nervous system: "You're safe now."
This isn't talk therapy. This is science.
Is It Safe?
Yes. It’s the same numbing medicine dentists have used safely for decades. In this study, no one had to go to the hospital. The most common temporary side effect was a hoarse voice for a few hours.
Bottom Line:
15 minutes. One injection. About an 80% success rate. You go home the same day.
SGB targets the stellate ganglion, a key nerve hub in your neck.
With a small injection, it signals to your brain: “You’re safe now.”
Many people feel relief in minutes to hours, with most people reporting feeling calmer, thinking clearer, and sleeping better than they have in years.
“Neuroimaging shows SGB reduces overactivity in the amygdala - the brain’s fear center - by calming the sympathetic nervous system.”
- VA Evidence Synthesis Program, 2020
10-15 minute outpatient procedure
You stay awake - no sedation, no talk therapy
Most people feel calmer, clearer, and more rested within 24–48 hours
If therapy or medication haven’t brought lasting relief, it may be because your body’s stress response is still stuck in overdrive.
When your body stays on high alert no matter what you do, it’s not a lack of effort. It’s your nervous system stuck in survival mode.
Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) helps it reset, so calm becomes possible again.
Enthea helps you get access to powerful, science-backed mental health care - like ketamine-assisted therapy.
If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or burnout - and nothing else has worked - this is something different.
We handle the tricky stuff like insurance and paperwork, so you can focus on feeling better.
