The Ketamine Wellness Clinic treats a variety of medical conditions using Ketamine. Below you will find a list of commonly treated conditions.
Sciatica is the commonly used name for pain that arises from inflammation of the nerves that exit the spine and travel down the legs. This condition is also known as lumbar radiculopathy. It can be an extremely painful and life altering condition. There are many options for treatment including, physical therapy, medications, epidural injections, spinal cord stimulation, and surgery.
Spinal stenosis is a condition where the bony canals that hold your major nerves are smaller than normal. These small and narrow canals can put pressure on the nerves in the spinal canal or where the nerves exit the spinal canal.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for doctors visit in the United States. The spine is an incredible and complex marvel of technical engineering and diagnosing where the pain is coming can be equally complex. Low back pain can be caused by something as simple as a strained muscle, but can also be caused by arthritis in the joints of the back, inflammation of the intervertebral discs, or irritated nerves in the back.
Essential to life and functionality, chronic neck pain can render people nearly disabled. The neck is an intricate part of our anatomy with many potential causes of pain. Thankfully, there are also many potential treatments. Pain in the neck can typically arise from strained muscles, arthritis of the neck joints, damaged intervertebral discs, or irritated nerves in the neck.
The intervertebral disc is a vital part of the spine. It provides cushioning to our vertebrae, allows us to bend forward and backward, and creates room for nerves to come and go out of our backs. Injuries to the disc can cause the disc to leave its intended place in the back and move to irritate the spinal cord or nerves that exit the spine. The pain can be localized to the back or can cause pain that goes down the arm or legs. The good news is that herniated discs can be treated!
Cervical Radiculopathy is pain caused by irritation of the nerves that exit the neck and move to the shoulders and arms. It is similar to sciatica, however, in the neck. This pain can be felt as shooting and electric pain that goes from the fingers to the neck or vice versa. It can be caused by degeneration of the discs in the neck or arthritis of the spine.
Shoulder pain can come from many different places in the shoulder and the various articulations in the shoulder. For patients who have tried physical therapy, or want to try surgical alternatives, shoulder injections can prove to be a powerful solution. We offer multiple medications that can be injected and tailored specifically to your condition. Shoulder injections can be done with ultrasound guidance or with fluoroscopic guidance to make sure the medications are going to the right place.
Pain in the knee can come from many different places, including tears in the tendons and loss, loss of synovial fluid, and loss or cartilage. For patients who have tried physical therapy, or want to try surgical alternatives, knee injections can prove to be a powerful solution. We have multiple medications that can be injected and tailed specifically to your condition. Knee injections can be done with ultrasound or with fluoroscopic guidance to make sure the medications are going to the right place.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was previously known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). We understand how terrible and painful this disease can be. Patients with CRPS typically have allodynia (pain to the touch), redness, skin changes, and constant burning pain typically in a leg or arm. The best results in treating CRPS come with early and aggressive treatment.
