Ketamine
Therapy

For depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain that haven't responded to conventional treatment — administered by Dr. Starsiak with close monitoring in a calm, private setting.

Mind & Mental Health

When conventional
treatment isn't enough

Ketamine is one of the most significant breakthroughs in mental health treatment in decades. Unlike traditional antidepressants — which can take weeks or months to show effect — ketamine acts on the brain's glutamate receptors and can produce meaningful relief within hours of the first infusion. This is particularly important for patients experiencing severe symptoms who cannot wait for gradual-onset treatments.

At Starsiak Osteopathic Clinic, ketamine is administered via IV infusion by Dr. Starsiak with close monitoring throughout. Sessions are conducted in a calm, private setting. Ketamine is especially valuable for treatment-resistant depression, suicidal ideation, severe anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain with central sensitization — conditions where many other treatments have already failed.
