Ketamine therapy
Ketamine Therapy
Physician-supervised ketamine therapy in a calm, monitored in-office setting — carefully evaluated for eligible patients exploring relief from chronic pain or persistent mood concerns.
When chronic pain hasn’t responded to the usual options
Living with persistent pain is exhausting — it wears down your sleep, your mood and the things you want to do. When the more conventional approaches haven’t brought enough relief, it’s understandable to want to understand every reasonable option. Ketamine therapy is one option some people explore, and it deserves a careful, honest explanation rather than hype.
A physician-supervised option, carefully evaluated
Ketamine therapy involves administering ketamine in a controlled, in-office setting under physician supervision with medical monitoring. For eligible patients, it is used as one option that may help in connection with certain chronic pain conditions — and, for some patients, persistent mood-related concerns such as depression or anxiety symptoms. It is not a cure, and it isn’t right for everyone.
What matters most is the evaluation. The physician reviews your health history, current medications and other factors to determine whether ketamine therapy is a suitable option for you — and is candid when it isn’t.

Who it’s for and what to expect
Ketamine therapy is appropriate only for specific patients and situations, and every path starts with a consultation and physician evaluation. If you’re a candidate, sessions are conducted in-office under supervision with medical monitoring, and your provider will explain exactly what to expect before, during and after — including realistic expectations, since results vary and are never guaranteed. If you’re not a good candidate, we’ll tell you honestly and help you understand why. We encourage you to continue working with your existing pain-management or mental-health providers throughout.

Can ketamine therapy help with chronic pain?

What is ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy involves administering ketamine in a controlled, in-office setting under physician supervision with medical monitoring.

What else might ketamine therapy be explored for?
Beyond chronic pain, some patients ask about ketamine in connection with persistent mood-related concerns such as depression or anxiety symptoms. In all cases it is offered as a physician-supervised option that may help certain eligible patients — not a cure — and suitability is determined during evaluation.
