Neuro Sympathetic Reset
What if?

WHAT IF the scars of trauma in our lived experiences could be relieved through a 20-minute outpatient medical innovation?
WHAT IF Post Traumatic Stress is an INJURY to our sympathetic nervous systems, rather than a mental disorder?
WHAT IF a second chance at life were real, allowing us to move through the world and connect deeply with everyone and everything around us?
Post-Traumatic Stress is an INJURY (PTSI) to the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) which triggers the amygdala and can directly impact every homeostatic system in the body.
RESET’S NSR treatment releases the “fight, flight or freeze” responses – often stuck “on” – to allow restoration to the pre-trauma state, allowing for release, revival, renewal, RESET of the sympathetic nerve. NSR is a pathway to healing from the scars of trauma and stress.
It feels like I had a straight jacket coming off, it is a weird feeling. It's been years since I have felt like I didn't have one on.
"I'm sleeping pretty darn good, which is a miracle all in itself. My thoughts aren't cluttered with the typical terrible things I am used to thinking about. I just seem to be ok. Content."
Darby underwent a traumatic experience that rendered her unable to work, leading her to return home to her family. She discusses the impact of the Neuro Sympathetic Reset (NSR) treatment recommended by her psychologist.
Jim, his wife, and two boys share the changes they have seen in Jim since his treatment. Post-treatment is three weeks, and the results and changes are incredible. His son says, "There used to be a lot of small things happening. He used to get, like, really lit reactive and stuff like that. It hasn't been happening as much or at all anymore."
Maya Christobel, Harvard Psychotherapist and Trauma Specialist, and Kelly Price, CEO of Reset Medical and Wellness Center, discuss Maya's experience with NSR at the age of 74, along with her educated point of view on the power of the treatment for not only trauma patients but for everyone.
I really hope people struggling with Bulimia will give this a try. I haven't had a single slip since the treatment, which wasn't even why I got the treatment to begin with! I went in for my social anxiety!
I don't feel like I am struggling to keep my head above water. I am so grateful for this [NSR] procedure.
I feel so light and free, without worry even though I know I have things I need to work out. My head isn't full like it was before. I can live in the moment. I feel like I have my life back.
NSR is a 20-minute, minimally invasive, evidence-based outpatient procedure that physiologically allows your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to RESET to its baseline state of peace, ease, presence, and clarity.
A physiological reset, RESET's Neuro Sympathetic Reset (NSR) is relieving the “fight, freeze or flight” response – often stuck “on” – to restore the at-rest, untriggered pre-trauma state in those experiencing symptoms including…Release, relieve, renew, revive, RESET. NSR is a pathway to relief from the scars of trauma and stress for all.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the NSR procedure work?
People exposed to chronic stressors or significant trauma often form unhealthy connections in the brain, which contribute to anxiety, depression, or PTSD. The sympathetic nervous system—our “fight or flight” response—often overreacts and contributes to these unhealthy connections. Our procedure, termed the “neuro-sympathetic reset,” temporarily blocks a part of our sympathetic system. This block can help to facilitate healing and allow a functional “reset” of our nervous system back to baseline. This allows the brain to form healthy connections, restores the body's natural balance, and improves symptoms.
Do I need a referral to have the NSR treatment?
No referral is needed; just complete our free online mental health assessment.
Do I need to stop or hold any medications before the NSR procedure?
Certain medications, including blood thinners and specific supplements, may need to be paused as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Our medical staff will review this with you before the procedure, and we will consult with your doctor to obtain permission to hold these medications if necessary.
How is the NSR procedure tolerated?
The procedure is quick and generally well-tolerated. A local anesthetic (lidocaine) is used to numb the skin beforehand. You will need to lie flat on your back for about 15 minutes. Most patients report minimal discomfort and only experience temporary side effects.
What type of medicine is used for the NSR procedure?
We use a long-acting anesthetic called Ropivacaine to block the cervical sympathetic nerves. Similar to lidocaine or Novocaine, Ropivacaine is a numbing agent commonly used for various types of anesthesia. Ropivacaine typically lasts about 8-12 hours. While the block is temporary, its benefits can last for months or even years, promoting healthy neural connections in your brain.
Are there any restrictions after the NSR procedure?
You will need a driver to and from the procedure, as driving is restricted on the day of the procedure. We recommend taking it easy on the day of the procedure as well. Everyone responds differently, but many take a nap after the procedure. The following day, you can resume your usual activity without restriction.
Is the NSR procedure FDA-approved?
The cervical sympathetic block, also known as the 'stellate block,' has been used for over 100 years to treat pain and is FDA-approved for specific pain conditions such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). While using it for other conditions like mental health issues, long COVID symptoms, or non-pain conditions is considered off-label, numerous studies have demonstrated significant benefits, particularly for anxiety disorders such as PTSD. With an increasing number of studies supporting its efficacy for various non-pain conditions each year, we aim to be at the forefront of mental health treatment in this country. We offer this procedure as a safe and effective adjunct to conventional treatments for these other conditions.
What are the side effects or risks of the NSR procedure?
As with any procedure, risks and benefits are involved, though the risks are minimal. Expected effects after the procedure include local or regional numbness in the neck or arm, nasal congestion, drooping eyelid (Horner’s syndrome), and hoarseness. Those effects are temporary for 8-12 hours until the anesthetic wears off. The site may be sore after the procedure, and we may recommend using ice or Tylenol for relief. We use ultrasound to precisely target the area to ensure the best outcome with the lowest risk. Severe complications such as bleeding, infection, nerve injury, or seizures are exceedingly rare.
What is the evidence that NSR will work for me?
Each patient experiences the procedure differently, with varying effects. Many patients have seen remarkable symptom relief lasting from months to years. Evidence indicates that those with moderate to severe conditions, particularly anxiety and PTSD, benefit the most. Additionally, this procedure has shown promising benefits for treating depression, ADHD, long COVID symptoms, and menopausal hot flashes. A comprehensive list of resources and evidence can be found on our News and Resources page.
Will I need more than one NSR treatment?
Based on your case, treatment and results may vary. Some patients for specific conditions need only a single treatment. Other cases, mainly those such as first responders who are continually exposed to ongoing trauma, may require additional treatments. That is why we offer a discount to all our military veterans, first responders, teachers, and their immediate family members.
Do I need to have someone drive me to get the NSR procedure?
Yes, you will need a driver on the day of your procedure.
Do you have references for counseling services or other ongoing treatments if I need them?
Yes, we can provide a list of providers in the area.
