Why Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine works when other drugs do not

Many people who have tried conventional treatments to pain associated with CRPS, Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Depression without relief have responded very well to ketamine therapy.

Fewer Side Effects

Conventional drugs used to treat chronic pain have long lists of side effects. Ketamine therapy has very mild side effects that are not residual – they stop when the infusion stops. There have also been no known cases of ketamine addiction as a result of ketamine therapy. However, it should be noted that there are no studies regarding the long term side effects of repeated ketamine infusions.

Intermittent Treatments

After the initial infusion schedule, ketamine therapy may not be needed for months. However, each patient is unique and the response to the ketamine infusion is variable. Effective treatment of the disease state is the goal of ketamine infusion therapy. Ketamine therapy may be an effective adjuvant to oral medication. The possibility of a reduction or elimination of chronic medication is a desired goal of ketamine therapy.
