Our ketamine clinic near you in Harrisburg treats a variety of ailments
You can use ketamine treatments to treat a range of issues and it’s proven as a highly effective therapy for physical and mental health issues. In a time when mental health problems are on the rise, ketamine infusion shows a promising alternative for common disorders like depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. Ketamine infusion therapy can also have positive impacts on other problems, such as chronic pain brought on by migraines or injuries.
Ketamine therapy for depression
Ketamine for depression offers hope for those burdened with major depressive disorder that is resistant to other types of treatments. We administer measured doses of ketamine through IV infusion. Patients often feel significant improvement from major depression symptoms within minutes.
Ketamine therapy for anxiety
Severe anxiety can make you feel like you're drowning. Ketamine treatments allow people suffering from anxiety disorders to slow down their brain and recover control over their thoughts so they can identify and address the root causes of their condition. Ketamine for anxiety is a safe, well-documented therapy that often treats anxiety more effectively than traditional pharmaceutical treatments.
Ketamine therapy for PTSD
If you've been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ketamine can help you heal. A fast-acting and effective medication, ketamine is a well-documented therapy for PTSD symptoms. Even after a single dose, patients report increased psychological stability and decreased reliance on traditional antidepressants.
Ketamine therapy for addiction
Recent studies have shown evidence that a series of low-dose ketamine infusions can block the symptoms of drug cravings and prevent relapse. Ketamine therapy is not appropriate for every patient with a history of substance abuse, so we tailor the treatment to each patient, working with them to build a plan that fits their condition and their needs.
Ketamine therapy for pain
Ketamine infusion therapy targets chronic pain by blocking NMDA receptors, which can reduce pain signaling and improve neuroplasticity. If chronic pain has destroyed your quality of life, and traditional therapies or medications alone haven't worked for you, ketamine therapy might be the breakthrough you need.
