Integrated Pain Consultants Phoenix is a newly opened location providing ketamine therapy to people in the North Phoenix area. The ketamine treatments they offer can help people with chronic pain conditions find relief where other traditional treatments have failed. People with work-related injuries and other types of injures may also qualify for ketamine therapy treatment at the clinic.
The highly skilled team of doctors and providers at Integrated Pain Consultants Phoenix pride themselves on offering compassionate care in a warm and welcoming environment. Their combination of experience and bedside manner offers new patients a safe place to receive healing.
Ketamine therapy has been shown to be effective in up to 75 percent of people with treatment-resistant conditions and the staff at the clinic hope to help as many people as they can regain control over their lives.
The Ketamine Infusion takes about 4 hours, although the actual IV infusion is about 3 hours. You’ll be with your team for 10-20 minutes before the appointment as they explain the treatment and address questions. The Ketamine begins to take effect about 5 minutes after the start of the IV infusion. Patients often report feeling calm, relaxed, euphoric, and sometimes that their mind is fully engaged but appears to be sleeping. The dissociation is described as the separation of the brain and body. The effects of Ketamine wear off within 15-30 minutes after the infusion. Overall, the experience should be very pleasant. Sedation is optional, and a CRNA will supervise you during your appointment.
Integrated Pain Consultants delivers Ketamine Infusions to patients over a period of time. The first phase is the “Stabilization” phase which consists of three total IV treatments. It is recommended that there is at least one day between treatments, with a maximum of five days. The stabilization period is designed to build on the previous treatment to reach higher Ketamine doses and is timed so that patients overcome any slight tolerance to medication and increase pain-relieving properties. Clinical evidence shows a higher level of Ketamine translates to a reduction in pain experienced. The “Maintenance” phase follows the initial stabilization phase and begins anywhere from six days, and up to thirty days after the stabilization cycle ends. How the patient responds to the initial treatment will determine how often they receive maintenance treatment.
