Here at Ahwatukee Ketamine Clinic and Drip Lounge in Phoenix, we’re using the latest groundbreaking migraine treatment to help people suffering from migraines find needed relief. Using ketamine therapy, we’ve helped individuals take control of their migraines so that their symptoms and severity are greatly decreased.
With ketamine treatments working differently than other migraine medications, many have been turning to us for help when it comes to taking care of their migraines. We’re Arizona’s certified ketamine treatment center with the experience that you can trust when it comes to ketamine treatments.
Primarily used as a dissociative anesthetic in anesthesia, ketamine is an FDA-approved drug considered one of the safest anesthetics available. However, recent studies have found that certain properties found in ketamine can help reduce or eliminate the severity of migraine headaches.
Unlike other migraine treatment options, ketamine infusion therapy works by blocking the neurotransmitters in your brain. Preventing them from reaching the N-methyl-D aspartate receptors located along your spinal cord and brain, which play an important role in the process of pain development.
Since the transmitters are blocked thanks to the ketamine treatment, your brain can’t send pain signals which in turn reduces the severity and side effects of migraines.
If you suffer from intense headaches, you may be experiencing what’s called a migraine headache. For those who suffer from frequent headaches and have yet to find a way to relieve them, we may be able to help.
With groundbreaking ketamine therapy, we can help guide you to the treatment option that works best for you to reduce the severity of migraines. This can allow you to enjoy your life without the frequent need to suffer from the unbearable pain that these intense headaches can cause.
Whether it’s a constant throbbing or nausea-inducing headache, migraines can make it hard to enjoy your day-to-day activities. Considered more than just a bad headache, migraines are a disabling neurological disease with varying symptoms and severity. Some of the precursors that you may experience with migraine include things such as:
Pinpointing the exact cause of a migraine is nearly impossible, with so many factors that differ from person to person, every case is unique. However, some well-known triggers have been known to cause migraine headaches such as:
While pain-relieving medicines and treatments are available to help manage migraines, ketamine treatments for migraines work differently by addressing the problem at a deeper level. Giving many people who struggle to find relief a chance to enjoy life without the constant and frequent pain of migraines.
We understand that living with frequent and severe migraines can make enjoying everyday life difficult. That’s why we’re certified and trusted when it comes to ketamine infusion and ketamine therapy treatments so that we can help you regain control over your migraines and get back to enjoying what matters to you.
The first step in your ketamine treatment journey begins with your initial consultation visit. This gives you the chance to discuss your concerns and previous medical history, or have any questions answered about the ketamine treatment process.
During your consultation, we’ll ensure that the right treatment option is selected to best suit your needs. We help guide you throughout the entire process so that you always know exactly what to expect from your treatment.
For treatment, we recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and arrive as stress-free as possible. It is also recommended that you do not eat within 4 hours before your treatment since ketamine has been known to cause nausea. This is why we may give you nausea medication before we begin your ketamine treatment.
For mood disorders treatments can take around 45 minutes to complete, however for migraines and pain disorders treatments can take up to 3 hours to complete. During this process, you’ll relax comfortably as we monitor your treatment to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. Expect to repeat this routine two to four times per week over several weeks for the best results.
One of the many draws to ketamine treatments is the fact that there is minimal recovery time after your in-office visit. Most patients find that the side effects of ketamine wear off around 20 to 60 minutes after their session, allowing them to return to almost all normal activities quickly.
During your recovery, you’ll need to have someone drive you home since you will not safely be able to operate a vehicle or any machinery for at least 12 hours after your treatment. The feeling of tiredness or drowsiness may persist for up to 24 hours following your first treatment since ketamine is still one of the main components of anesthesia.
When using ketamine to treat migraines, many patients experience a variety of benefits. Some of the benefits of ketamine therapy include things such as the following.
