At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach, CA, we are proud to offer innovative treatments for individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our ketamine infusion therapy has shown remarkable effectiveness in alleviating the debilitating symptoms of PTSD, providing new hope for those who have not found relief with conventional therapies.
PTSD is a severe mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, severe anxiety, uncontrollable thoughts about the event, and emotional numbness. Traditional treatments, such as psychotherapy and medications, can help many individuals, but there are cases where these methods are not sufficient. This is where ketamine infusion therapy comes in as a powerful alternative.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in medical settings for decades, primarily for its anesthetic and pain-relieving properties. Recently, it has gained attention for its rapid-acting antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects, particularly in treating PTSD and other mental health disorders.
Ketamine modulates the brain’s glutamate system, which is crucial in mood regulation and stress response. By enhancing synaptic plasticity and restoring neural connections, ketamine helps reduce the symptoms of PTSD more effectively and rapidly than traditional treatments. This mechanism provides a “reset” for the brain, alleviating the intense and often debilitating symptoms of PTSD.
Our ketamine infusion therapy for PTSD involves a carefully designed protocol to ensure maximum efficacy and patient safety. The treatment process at Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine includes:
Studies have demonstrated that ketamine is both safe and effective for treating PTSD. Patients often experience a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms, including flashbacks, anxiety, and depression, within hours to days after the first infusion. Side effects are typically mild and transient, including temporary increases in blood pressure and mild dissociative experiences.
During the infusion, patients may experience a temporary dissociative state characterized by a feeling of detachment from their body and surroundings. This effect is generally short-lived and subsides soon after the infusion ends. Many patients find the experience manageable and describe it as relaxing and transformative.
At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine, we are dedicated to offering advanced and compassionate care for individuals suffering from PTSD. Our ketamine infusion therapy represents a breakthrough in the treatment of PTSD, offering rapid relief and renewed hope for those who have struggled with conventional therapies.
