In fact, more than 26 million American adults suffer from constant back pain, one of the most common locations of chronic pain.When you have chronic pain, it can take a dramatic toll on your quality of life. Being in pain makes it more difficult to work, sleep, move comfortably, and enjoy time with friends and family. It can even make it challenging to participate in your favorite hobbies and activities.Ketamine infusions are effective in treating even some severe cases of depression and pain.How Ketamine Infusions WorkA surprising drug with somewhat of a checkered history has reemerged as a promising treatment for severe depression. Ketamine was initially used as an anesthesia medicine in the 1960s. It was administered to soldiers on the front lines during the Vietnam War.At lower doses, it helps ease the pain. In the operating room, Ketamine also helps sedatives work and helps patients need fewer addictive painkillers like morphine and other opiates post-surgery.Patients and researchers are reporting very positive results with the clinical use of Ketamine. The complications with Ketamines reputation stem from overuse and misuse as a recreational drug. However, when administered in proper doses by a doctor, IV Ketamine infusion therapy is relatively safe and effective for treating pain, depression, and several other symptoms.Depression,Bipolar disorderAnxietyPostpartum depressionPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)Chronic pain syndromes - (post-herpetic neuralgia, phantom limb pain, neuropathy)Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS or RSD)FibromyalgiaChronic migrainesPain from Lyme diseaseCancer treatment-related pain.There are two main theories onwhy Ketamine is so effective.*The first one is brain chemistry-based. In the case of mood disorders, Ketamine works by blocking a specific type of brain cell receptor that is turned on by a chemical called glutamate.This affects the levels of several other chemicals and proteins in the brain, thereby creating true healthier balance and allowing the regeneration of damaged, dysfunctional cells within the brains mood and emotion centers.* The second theory is that by inducing a dissociative or dream-like state, Ketamine enables the mind to transform the perception of traumatic experiences and negative thoughts. Patients report a state in which internal negative dialogue is disrupted.The worn track in the brain is replaced, and continuous loops of negative thoughts are halted, creating a healthier mindset.More people are realizing and embracing Ketamine than ever before. Ketamine infusions have been known to significantly improve a range of mental disorders, from chronic pain to depression. But unfortunately, its still awaiting FDA approval in the treatment of these disorders.THE COSTThat means that most insurance plans wont cover the treatment. So if youre wondering about Ketamine treatment costs, whether you can afford them, and if theyre worth it, heres what you need to know.The cost of Ketamine infusions ranges from about $400 to $2000 for each session depending on the treatment the patient requires for effective relief.Start by taking our assessment (click on the link below) or by calling and talking with one of our professionals to see if Ketamine Treatments are right for you.Ketamine Treatment Assessment FormQuintessence Health & Wellness (801) 930-9381

Meet my in-laws, Barbara and Joe of Winnemucca, Nevada. Barbara has a hard time getting out of the chair and an even harder time walking. More and more she stays in her pajamas all day long so she wont have to go all the way down the treacherous stairs to do the laundry. She has macular degeneration and arthritis. Joe has pretty severe dementia. He gets dizzy all the time. He cant drive anymore. Barbara gave up driving many years ago. Their closest relatives, a son and daughter-in-law, are an hour away. Were all agreed Barbara and Joes children, their doctor, even their neighbors Barbara and Joe are a danger to themselves and need more care. Their children once picked out a lovely apartment in the retirement/assisted living assisted living where I work, and we know Barbara and Joe would enjoy it if they'd just give it a chance. But Barbara and Joe do not want to come. They want to stay in their own home the one they've lived in for 46 years. They're just fine, they tell everyone. They can take care of themselves even with dementia, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, arthritis, and heaven-only-knows what else that we don't know about (they're pretty good at hiding things). Can they live alone? Should they live alone? Or, should we force them to move?That depends on a lot of things. Do they have family members who can stay with them 24-hours a day? Can caregivers be hired who can stay with them 24/7? Can the family afford for them to keep their house and pay caregivers also? Could they be declared incompetent? There are many families just like us--families with aging family members who wont do what is best for them. Its a catch-22 situation. We cant win and they cant win. Barbara and Joe are just fine. So, we do everything we can, and in the mean time we wait for something to happen and at the same time pray that it wont. We wait for the fall (I'm sure you know what I mean). In the end, they are still adults, and we are still their children. So, we wait and we hope.
