Vagus Nerve Injections

Although the V shot is a safe and effective treatment for many individuals, certain conditions may require caution or contraindicate treatment. You should consult with our medical team before receiving the V Shot if you have:

• Active infections – If you have a current systemic infection, it’s best to delay treatment until your immune system is stable.

• Uncontrolled bleeding disorders – Patients with hemophilia, low platelet counts, or on blood thinners may be at higher risk of complications.

• Severe heart conditions – While the treatment may support cardiovascular health, those with unstable heart disease or pacemakers should consult their physician first.

• Pregnancy – The effects of Vagus Nerve Injections during pregnancy have not been extensively studied, so treatment is not recommended for pregnant individuals.
  Severe neurological conditions – Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy, active neurodegenerative disorders, or recent strokes should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

• Active cancer or tumors near the vagus nerve – Those undergoing active cancer treatment or with tumors affecting the nervous system should seek medical clearance.
