First-Hand Testimonial from a Ketamine Patient

NON-OPIOID PAIN MANAGEMENT OPTIONS | PAIN MANAGEMENT WITHOUT NARCOTICS

NON-OPIOID PAIN MANAGEMENT OPTIONS | PAIN MANAGEMENT WITHOUT NARCOTICS

It’s estimated that 36 million people in the United States struggle with opiate addiction. More than 80% of these addictions started with a prescribed opiate painkiller. With the opioid crisis officially declared a National State of Emergency, it’s important to know what your non-narcotic pain management options are in order to prevent substance abuse and addiction issues for you or your loved ones. 

KETAMINE THE “WONDER DRUG”

KETAMINE THE “WONDER DRUG”

“Incredibly effective.” “Truly remarkable.” These are just a few of the comments made about the results of the latest ketamine trial – the first ever randomized control trial to study the effect of ketamine on people aged 60+ suffering from treatment resistant depression.

KETAMINE FOR CHRONIC PAIN & DEPRESSION: COMMON MYTHS, DEBUNKED

KETAMINE FOR CHRONIC PAIN & DEPRESSION: COMMON MYTHS, DEBUNKED

Ketamine has made quite a few headlines as of late. Originally introduced as an emergency room and battlefield anesthetic in the 1970s, ketamine has recently been heralded by emergency physicians and chronic pain specialists for its ability to treat chronic pain, and by mental healthcare practitioners for its ability to change the lives of patients suffering from even the most severe, treatment-resistant cases of depression.

KETAMINE RESEARCH & STUDIES | KETAMINE SUCCESS STORIES

Since 2012, it seems researchers have discovered a steady stream of new applications for ketamine. Introduced as an anesthetic in the early ‘70s, it has more recently gained popularity for its highly impressive antidepressant and antipsychotic qualities. Ketamine research shows that infusions, when administered following the proper protocol under expert supervision, dramatically improve depressive symptoms in upwards of 70% of patients. Similarly extraordinary results have manifested in ketamine studies pertaining to PTSD prevention and treatment, addiction treatment, and chronic pain management.

HOW DOES KETAMINE WORK | THE DISCOVERY OF A POTENTIAL ANTI-DEPRESSIVE MECHANISM

It is hard to argue against ketamine as the most promising depression treatment available today. In 70% of patients, ketamine effectively and rapidly improves depressive symptoms, even in those patients who have historically resisted other methods of treatment. Study after study shows the same thing: ketamine works, and it works significantly better than traditional antidepressants or psychotherapy. 

KETAMINE FOR DEPRESSION: THE QUEST FOR FDA APPROVAL

KETAMINE FOR DEPRESSION: THE QUEST FOR FDA APPROVAL

It’s a frustrating situation, to have this miraculous drug – a drug that is capable of changing and saving lives – so readily available, and yet so inaccessible. Without FDA approval, the overwhelming majority of insurance companies will not cover the cost of ketamine infusion therapy, leaving millions of Americans to suffer in the despair of severe depression. Private label ketamine clinics are operating around the country, but average prices of $500-800 per infusion are inhibitive at best. Even at our clinic, offering the lowest-priced ketamine infusions in the country, this potentially life-changing treatment is still not an option for many people.

KETAMINE FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT | CHRONIC PAIN & FIBROMYALGIA TREATMENT

KETAMINE FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT | CHRONIC PAIN & FIBROMYALGIA TREATMENT

Ketamine has earned its clout as one of the most effective treatments for depression, bipolar disorder and PTSD currently available on the market. However, ketamine is also effective in pain management, specifically for the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as CRPS, migraine headaches and as a fibromyalgia treatment. Pain is the #1 cause of physical disability in the world, but modern pain management options – including opiates and other medications, physical therapy, meditation, acupuncture and other complimentary and alternative techniques – tend to treat pain symptoms as they continue to occur, rather than stopping the pain from reoccurring altogether.
