If you’re one of the millions of people living with fibromyalgia, you already know that traditional treatments often fall short. If you’re searching for something that can truly help, we offer an alternative.
Recent research indicates that fibromyalgia affects an astounding 5–10 million American adults, with women at double the risk of developing it than men.

He’s here to answer your questions about ketamine and guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel supported and informed — and most importantly, that you feel better.
