Does Ketamine Help With Chronic Pain?
Many of our patients find relief where traditional medication has failed them.
Ketamine therapy is bringing a renewed hope to those grappling with pain longer then 3 months.
If you or a loved one is struggling with migraines, nerve pain, psychological pain, or chronic pain, Ketamine therapy may be an option.
Benefits Of Ketamine Infusion Therapy
#1 Fewer Side Effects
Patients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain often suffer from negative side effects.
The most common side effects of traditional antidepressants include:
- Increased appetite, potentially leading to weight gain
- Insomnia
- Sexual problems such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation problems
#2 Rapid Relief
According to Harvard, Ketamine can rapidly relieve treatment-resistant depression.
Instead of waiting for an SSRI to hopefully provide some relief over the course of weeks, people who are suffering under the crushing weight of depression can start to feel the benefits of ketamine within about 40 minutes.
#3 Ketamine Treats the Root Cause of Depression & Anxiety
Dr. Kaveh’s holistic anxiety treatment uses IV Ketamine and NAD to address the root causes of anxiety and depression . All too often, anxiety is used as a “label” or diagnosis (“I am an anxious person” or “I was diagnosed with depression”). Instead, Dr. Kaveh emphasizes that anxiety/depression is often a symptom, rather than a diagnosis.

#4 Ketamine Helps Reveal Unresolved Childhood Trauma and Stressors
Patients trying to heal from depression often feel “stuck.” This is the result of three problems:
A) Childhood experiences (“ACEs”)
B) Persistent stressful experiences without adequate support. These can be emotional, medical, or financial stressors, or even side effects from other medications.
C) Neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain
Childhood trauma has significant effects on the developing brain that can contribute to lifelong physical and psychological diseases.
However, some of us are prone to underestimating the effects childhood trauma because we have covered the raw experiences with years, or decades, of coping mechanisms.
This can lead to burying these adversities deep in our subconscious, where we may not be aware of their ongoing effects.
Ketamine, like psychedelics, allows for an expansion of our consciousness. This state of mind allows for compassion and forgiveness to explore our childhood adversities from the perspective of healing from them.
This requires preparation with our expert Clarus physicians in the Bay Area, or with your trusted mental health professional.
