IV Ketamine for Chronic Pain
Treatment options are determined after an individual clinical evaluation and are provided under medical supervision.
Ketamine, an FDA-approved medication with a 50-year history of use, is now offering rapid relief for individuals struggling with a variety of mental health challenges.
Imagine your brain as a complex network of roads. Mental health conditions can be like potholes and broken bridges, disrupting the flow of information.
Ketamine acts as a repair crew, helping the brain to grow new, stronger connections. It works by releasing glutamate, a neurotransmitter, which allows for the formation of new synapses within just 24 hours.
Your treatment plan and eligibility are determined through professional clinical evaluation.
Ketamine therapy has shown promise in treating a range of conditions, including:
For individuals who have not responded to other forms of treatment.
Offering relief from the debilitating symptoms of trauma.
Helping to manage and reduce severe anxiety.
Providing a new option for those with persistent and intrusive thoughts.
Assisting in the management of long-term nerve pain.
The journey with ketamine therapy typically follows a structured protocol to ensure safety and effectiveness.
A thorough evaluation to determine if ketamine therapy is the right choice for you.
A session to prepare you for the experience and set intentions for your treatment.
A series of slow intravenous infusions of low-dose ketamine over a period of 2–3 weeks. Each session lasts approximately 60–90 minutes, with the infusion itself taking about 40 minutes, followed by a recovery period.
Sessions designed to help you process your experiences and integrate the benefits of the treatment into your daily life.
As needed, booster treatments may be available to maintain positive effects for weeks or months to come.
During the infusion, most people report feeling deeply relaxed and at ease in a calm and private setting.
Ketamine therapy is not a permanent cure, and there are important factors to consider.
Potential side effects are typically short-lived and may include a dream-like feeling, sedation, or nausea.
Ketamine treatment is considered an “off-label” use and is generally not covered by insurance.
This therapy is not suitable for everyone. Individual health history and clinical evaluation help determine eligibility.
