Empowered Living Starts with StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine

Traditional allopathic medicine isn’t for everyone. Recognizing the side effects of traditional antidepressants, ranging from weight gain to emotional numbness, we strive to create a personalized, tailored approach to mental health conditions.

Our comprehensive menu of alternative therapies, including Ketamine therapy and Stellate Ganglion Block, offers swift-acting relief. Providing more than temporary solace, our sessions are your guide to lasting wellness.

Additionally, StrIVeMD offers a wide range of anti-aging therapies, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, Botox®, Kybella®, and IV vitamin therapy.

Fequently Asked Questions

What treatments does StrIVeMD offer?

We specialize in IV Ketamine Infusions and Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) therapy. We do not offer Spravato (esketamine nasal spray), TMS, ADHD medication management, or hormone therapy.

Is ketamine the same as Spravato?

No. Spravato is an esketamine nasal spray typically administered through a psychiatrist's office and covered by some insurance plans. StrIVeMD offers IV ketamine infusions, which are administered intravenously in-clinic by Dr. Ali. The two are different delivery methods with different clinical applications.

What conditions do you treat?

We treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and CRPS. If you're unsure whether your condition is a good fit, call or text us and we'll help you find out.

What is Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) therapy, and how is it different from ketamine?

SGB is a targeted injection that temporarily blocks the stellate ganglion, a bundle of nerves in the neck linked to the body's fight-or-flight response. It's most often used for rapid relief from PTSD, anxiety, and certain chronic pain conditions, and many patients notice a shift within days rather than weeks. Unlike ketamine, which is administered as an IV infusion and works through the brain's neuroplasticity, SGB is a quick in-office injection with minimal downtime. Dr. Ali will help determine during your consultation whether SGB, ketamine, or a combination of both is the best fit for your symptoms.
