KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY

Fast & Efficient Lyme Disease Treatment in Helena, MT

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. The disease can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, rash, body aches, and neurological problems. According to the CDC, Lyme disease is the most prevalent vector-borne illness in the United States.

Although Lyme disease is curable, some patients may develop Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) – a chronic condition that causes the pain associated with Lyme disease to persist even after the infection has been treated and is no longer clinically detectable. The pain may be accompanied by fatigue and cognitive difficulties.

Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome often gets better on its own but may take months or even years. This can result in a significant impact on your quality of life.

There is Hope, We Can Help!

PTLDS is largely unresponsive to traditional pain medications. Luckily, ketamine infusion therapy is a new exciting treatment that has proven to be highly effective in managing a variety of chronic pain conditions.

According to a report published by the National Library of Medicine, ketamine was shown to provide adequate pain relief in a patient with treatment-resistant PTLDS, with remission periods of up to two months.

Ketamine has a rapid onset of action, which, combined with its ability to provide long-lasting pain relief, makes it an ideal treatment option for patients with PTLDS and other forms of chronic pain.

How Does Ketamine Help With PTLDS?

The analgesic effect of ketamine is believed to be mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism. This prevents glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, from binding to NMDA receptors and initiating pain perception.

Ketamine also helps reverse central sensitization, a process that causes the nervous system to become oversensitive to pain signals. This restores the normal pain threshold and helps reduce the overall perception of pain.

The Ketamine Infusion Experience

During treatment, we go above and beyond to make sure all of our patients feel as comfortable as possible in their own private rooms. Infusions typically last 45-60 minutes for mood disorders, while chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia require a larger dose and can take up to several hours to complete.

A number of our patients refer to a “dissociative” effect, and most of our patients respond positively to this sensation. In many cases, this disassociation effect is what aids with your treatment and delivers a positive response to ketamine therapy.

These are all ordinary components of the treatment. You will always remain in a safe atmosphere with our team there to monitor you and be readily available during your infusion.

What Are The Side Effects of Ketamine Treatment?

Ketamine is generally well tolerated by patients, and most people do not experience any significant side effects. However, as with any other medication, there are some potential side effects. They include a dream-like feeling, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. These side effects are mostly mild and usually resolve within a few hours after treatment.

Thank you so much for your time and compassion toward me. You have given me my life back after 7 years. There are no words to say how thankful I am. Thank you!
