If you suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and have struggled to find a treatment that works, you're probably not alone. A recent report in Healthline noted around 50% of individuals receiving traditional medications for anxiety are treatment-resistant.

Fortunately, there are options.

Interventional Orthopedics of Washington, located in Bellevue, offers ketamine therapy as an alternative to traditional anxiety treatments.

FDA-approved and backed by emerging research, ketamine therapy can provide relief if you've struggled to manage chronic anxiety.

According to a National Institutes of Health report, over 30% of American adults experience anxiety or a related anxiety disorder. Traditional anxiety treatments, such as SSRIs, SNRIs, and more aggressive drugs such as Benzodiazepines have limitations and often cause unpleasant side effects.

Ketamine, traditionally used as an anesthetic, has gained traction in recent years due to its potential in treating mental health disorders. In 2019, the FDA approved ketamine in a sub-anesthetic dose for the treatment of depression and suicidal ideation. The Anxiety & Depression Association of America recently reported that ketamine therapy can provide a fast-acting option for patients dealing with anxiety who have not responded to conventional SSRI or SNRI medications.

Today, ketamine therapy is used to treat a wide range of mental and physical health issues including anxiety, severe depression, OCD, fibromyalgia, and eating disorders.

If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, at Interventional Orthopedics of Washington you can receive intravenous, intramuscular, intranasal, and oral ketamine therapy. The therapy lasts anywhere from one hour to three hours - and is administered on-site and in the care of trained professionals.
