Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy offers rapid relief for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions. Administered via IV infusion, this FDA-approved treatment creates new neural pathways for lasting mental health improvement. Our protocol combines medical expertise with personalized care to optimize treatment outcomes for patients who haven't responded to conventional therapies.
SGB Block
Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a targeted treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and long COVID symptoms. Using ultrasound guidance, we inject anesthetic near neck nerves to regulate the sympathetic nervous system. This evidence-based procedure provides symptom relief lasting up to six months, with 80% of patients experiencing immediate improvement after one injection.
IV Nutrition
IV nutrition therapy delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Our customized formulas address deficiencies that contribute to mental health issues and chronic conditions. Treatments include Myers' Cocktail, immune boosters, and recovery blends that complement ketamine therapy for comprehensive wellness support.
Mental Health Protocol
Our mental health protocol uses six IV ketamine infusions over 2-3 weeks for lasting relief from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Each 1-hour session includes personalized monitoring in a therapeutic environment. This evidence-based approach achieves optimal results when completed as prescribed, with optional booster sessions for sustained benefits.
Chronic Pain Protocol
The chronic pain protocol delivers five extended ketamine infusions over two weeks for comprehensive pain management. Each 3-hour session uses higher dosages under medical supervision to reset pain pathways. This intensive treatment addresses complex regional pain syndrome and other chronic conditions, with maintenance sessions typically needed every 6-8 weeks.

I've always had a fragile nervous system and ketamine was the reboot I needed to help me reset emotionally. A month ago, I walked into the Ketamine Wellness Center feeling broken and desperate for solutions for my deep depression. Their office offered a compassionate and safe place to make working on my mental health a priority. They were warm and encouraging during treatments especially during the more emotional moments for me. While the office is there to provide you with guidance, they let you steer the decisions based on what's right for you. I chose to do my 6 treatments in a 2 week period

I needed rehydration a week after having oral surgery and was still too uncomfortable to drink or eat much. The compassion and professionalism made me feel at ease, not to mention the treatment really helped me feel better and helped in my healing. Thanks so much!
