At DPSI, we currently offer two IV therapies to help manage your chronic pain; lidocaine infusions and ketamine infusions.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that, when administered intravenously, has been proven effective at treating various pain conditions, including but not limited to fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and chronic diabetic neuropathy. Lidocaine infusions affect the whole body, allowing your body's pain response systems to relax and become less sensitive. Most people experience long-term relief after two or three sessions, lasting 6-8 weeks.
Ketamine, though similar to lidocaine, works by blocking receptors that play a major role in chronic pain, opioid tolerance, and mood regulation. Ketamine is rapidly gaining popularity for the treatment of a number of mental health conditions such as ptsd, opioid addiction, and treatment-resistant depression, in addition to chronic pain.
