Ketamine near Poleta CA | Effective Supplemental Treatments for Depression & Chronic Pain

Treating depression through talk therapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) has been the primary course of treatment for many doctors for decades. However, in the last 10 years, low doses of IV ketamine have risen in popularity as a supplement to these methods. Thanks to its unique effects on the brain–specifically on memory and the formation of spinal dendrites–it has offered new hope to many who could not find relief from their depressive symptoms using the traditional methods alone.  Now ketamine infusions are available near Poleta, CA.

When compared to SSRIs ketamine appears to offer its benefits much sooner than traditional antidepressants–which typically take weeks or months before anything noticeable occurs. Most patients notice a reduction in the severity of their mood, or a sense of relief within the first few infusions–if not within a few hours. Research on the efficacy of ketamine infusions has described the most reliable treatment as the combination of traditional SSRIs & regular talk therapy additionally supplemented with a cycle of ketamine infusions.

Remarkably, despite being used in much lower dosages, ketamine infusions have also offered relief to patients who suffer from regular chronic pain from conditions like fibromyalgia, diabetic nerve pain, and CRPS. Since ketamine is not known to cause physical addiction, this is a wonderful opportunity for many to find effective relief without the risk of addiction.
