What Triggers Restless Legs Syndrome?
When you sit down, do you have a hard time keeping your legs still? Is your sleep disrupted by tingling sensations or an uncontrollable urge to move? If this sounds like you, you may be suffering from restless legs syndrome. What is Restless Leg Syndrome? Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes unpleasant or painful feelings in your legs and an overpowering desire to move them. Symptoms normally happen during late afternoon or evening hours and are most serious at night when you’re resting. You may also experience symptoms during times of inactivity when sitting for a long time (during a train…
Chronic Pain Syndrome Vs. Fibromyalgia
Many people with pain conditions experience discomfort for months or years, resolving to just deal with it and go about their lives. Sometimes their pain has a definitive cause; other times not. But treating any kind of pain means knowing what you’re dealing with. Two well-known pain conditions are chronic pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. What is Chronic Pain? A nervous system response to acute pain is normal – pain receptors are on high alert to warn you of potential injury and to let you know you must care for your needs. But chronic pain is unique – it persists, sometimes…
Should You Try Ketamine Therapy?
Struggling with chronic pain and mood disorders for long periods can make things seem hopeless. Despite your best efforts, standard coping techniques have had little to no effect. Perhaps dieting or lifestyle changes worked for a little while, but then you tried a fad therapy and ended back at square one. There may be another solution: ketamine therapy. What Is Ketamine? Ketamine is a powerful medicine that was first used as an anesthetic. Its origins date back to the early 1960s, and it gained prominence treating wounded U.S. combat troops fighting in Vietnam. Since that time, scientists have discovered that…

With the right combination of treatments and lifestyle changes, anyone can find relief. By its very nature, depression treatment is paradoxical and difficult to treat – the very things you need to do to help fight your depression are also the hardest things to do because of your depression.

Is PTSD Hereditary?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that a person may develop after going through, or witnessing, something traumatic. PTSD typically manifests in the form of nightmares, flashbacks, and emotional distress, but other symptoms may appear depending on the person and their condition. What causes a person to develop PTSD is not down to one single factor but is instead dependent on a number of factors both biological and environmental. The one common denominator is always going through a traumatic event. After something traumatic, it’s more than normal to have difficulty coping with what you have gone through.…
Ketamine for Depression
Today most depression is treated with oral antidepressants known as SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Common drugs include Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, and Celexa. Or SNRI (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor). This includes Pristiq, Cymbalta, Fetzima, and Effexor. These treatments are only effective in 47% of patients and have challenging side effects. Ketamine started as an FDA-approved anesthetic. Now is being used as an extremely successful treatment for these SSRI and SNRI resistant depression patients. When used in a series of treatments, we are able to help over 83% of patients who failed traditional therapy. Read more to learn more about how…
