Pain Management

More than 20% of adults live with chronic pain today. Unfortunately, traditional pain management approaches like oral medication and physical therapy don’t always help people with chronic pain. However, Ketaesthetics, in Midtown Manhattan, offers new hope for chronic pain. Intravenous (IV) ketamine could be the key to unlocking an active and healthy life again, so call the New York City office or schedule your consultation online now.

Pain Management Q & A

Most pain happens suddenly and then steadily fades as the body heals. Chronic pain lingers — and sometimes even worsens — long after it should have faded. Doctors usually diagnose chronic pain in cases where the pain lasts for at least three months. 

 

Chronic pain is tied to anxiety, depression, and a poorer quality of life. This type of pain can be notoriously difficult to treat, which is why so many people struggle to find solutions that allow them to live normally.

A large variety of injuries and chronic medical conditions can cause chronic pain, including:

 

  • Traumatic spine injuries
  • Neuropathy
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Arthritis
  • Sports injuries
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Disc herniation

Most conditions that cause chronic pain are more common in middle-aged and older adults, but they can occur at any age. 

If your current method of coping with chronic pain isn’t effective, or if you just can’t imagine your current plan as a long-term solution, pain management at Ketaesthetics can help. 

 

 

When chronic pain forces you to change your life — for example, if you’re regularly missing work or staying home instead of spending time with the ones you love — it’s important to know that you don’t need to live this way. 

 

In many cases, people who come to Ketaesthetics have previously been treatment with opioids and are frustrated with the problems these meds can cause. While opioids can be quite helpful in the beginning, they have a risk of addiction and potentially serious side effects. 


Even if you’ve already tried other pain management programs, Ketaesthetics can help. They use a non-opioid approach that focuses on effective methods for medication-resistant pain.

Ketaesthetics personalizes pain management plans for each patient. The experienced team takes the time to understand your individual circumstances and pain level. We can then formulate a program for your pain, whether that be intravenous (IV) ketamine, Trigger Point injections, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or a minimally invasive pain management procedure. We also take a multidisciplinary approach and if necessary can organize concurrent evaluation by Chiropractic or Orthopedic services.

Ketamine is a breakthrough treatment for people with long-lasting pain. This drug was originally used only in large doses for anesthesia, but doctors discovered that it also has some tremendously beneficial pain relief, antidepressant, and anti-anxiety effects. 

Ketamine is especially effective for certain types of chronic pain, including CRPS, fibromyalgia, and migraines. The drug works within your brain to interrupt pain receptors and recalibrate central pain centers for improved pain management within your body. 


Ketamine infusions take place in the Ketaesthetics office, with the team monitoring you the entire time to make sure you’re safe and comfortable. Many people feel a difference after their first infusion.
