Our Treatment Options for Postoperative Care and Active Recovery

We offer a range of treatment protocols, and which one is right for you depends on your situation. Some of the options we may consider include:

While MSKIT® is often used for chronic pain, it can also help with Postoperative Care and Active Recovery by targeting the nervous system to interrupt pain pathways. This treatment may be considered when other options are not providing relief.

For dehydration-related pain or when recovery is needed after injury or surgery, IV fluids can help restore balance, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

This powerful anti-inflammatory can provide relief from pain caused by inflammation, making it effective for conditions like acute back pain, joint pain, and muscle strain.

Lidocaine works by calming overactive nerves and interrupting pain signals. It’s often used in cases of nerve-related acute pain and can offer significant relief.

Acute pain

Is This Treatment Right for You?

If you’re uncertain about the type of pain you’re experiencing, you’re not alone. Pain can often be complex, and distinguishing between acute and chronic pain is not always straightforward.

Acute pain typically arises suddenly, often as a result of injury, surgery, or a new condition. It’s usually sharp and intense, but it tends to diminish as the body heals. Some common scenarios where you might experience acute pain include:

  • Pain following an accident or injury
  • Discomfort after a recent surgery or medical procedure
  • Sharp pain that doesn’t last beyond a few weeks
  • Sudden, localized pain in muscles, joints, or nerves


If you’ve recently experienced any of these or have questions about your pain, our team is here to help. We offer a
no-cost consultation where we’ll discuss your needs and help determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on your situation.

FAQS

Yes. Ketamine is considered very safe for treating postoperative pain when it’s administered at low, controlled doses by trained medical professionals. Unlike many anesthetics, ketamine does not suppress breathing or heart function, and it has been safely used in medicine since the 1970s.

Yes. Ketamine is a non-narcotic, non-opioid, non-addictive pain management option.

Lidocaine works by reducing inflammation, calming overactive nerves, and interrupting pain signals.

Yes. IV fluids can help with migraines, dehydration, and recovery by rapidly restoring hydration and supporting your body’s ability to calm inflammation and heal.

If you experience migraines, it’s best to schedule a no-cost consultation as soon as possible. Once you’re established as a patient, we can treat you quickly – often the same day.

Ketamine increases neuroplasticity, your brain’s ability to form healthier patterns, helping reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, migraines, and other cognitive disorders.

Some patients notice subtle shifts within hours, while others begin to feel meaningful change gradually throughout the Stabilization Phase and beyond. There’s no standardized timeline, as individual responses naturally differ. Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®) opens the door for change, and your ongoing work helps guide how that change takes shape. Through neuroplasticity, MSKIT® opens a window where your brain can more easily build healthier patterns: new thoughts, behaviors, habits, and emotional responses. Actively practicing those healthier choices during this time is what makes the difference. The more you engage with these new patterns, the stronger and more sustainable they become.

Ketamine’s benefits can last weeks to several months, but duration varies from person to person. Results depend on the brain’s baseline health, how well new neural capacity is supported, and whether the patient continues healthy brain-care practices after treatment. Many patients maintain progress with periodic booster sessions as needed.

You’ll be in a private, calm environment with continuous monitoring. You will be given eye shades, a blanket if you’d like. You’ll dress comfy. Most people describe the feeling as light, floaty, or similar to nitrous oxide at the dentist. The feeling is temporary and a result of the ketamine.

Stabilization includes six infusions over three weeks. After that, booster sessions are scheduled based on your individual progress and goals.

Most people describe the feeling as light, floaty, or similar to nitrous oxide at the dentist.

You can't mess up Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®). The neurological cascade that ketamine initiates in your brain is a biological process that unfolds on its own. You cannot stop it, change it, or do it “wrong.” The vivid thoughts or emotions you may experience during a session are temporary, medication-driven experiences, similar to dreaming, and they do not determine your outcome or hold deeper meaning.
