AUSTIN, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kalypso Wellness Centers, one of the nation's leading providers of ketamine infusions, has partnered with CARMAhealth to bring Kalypso's patent-pending ketamine treatments to some patients being treated for depression, anxiety, and PTSD at CARMAhealth's Central Austin location.
Kalypso has successfully treated patients from more than 32 different disease states. As ketamine becomes a more accepted and widely used form of treatment for these disorders, the number of ketamine clinics nationwide continues to grow and is currently estimated at more than 300. However, Kalypso is one of only a handful of companies with multiple locations. The Central Austin clinic is the 10th managed location (6 in Texas and one each in New York, North Carolina, Mississippi and Pennsylvania) to offer Kalypso's revolutionary ketamine treatments.
A big reason why ketamine use in the medical industry is becoming more widespread is due to its high success rate. Kalypso reports that more than 90% of their patients experienced positive results, with less than 5% of patients experiencing any adverse reactions. Both of these percentages are well ahead of the national average. Kalypso and CARMAhealth expect this trend to continue at the Central Austin location.
"We have been monitoring the success of ketamine infusion around the country for many years, and the clinicians at CARMA have been interested in offering this service," said Dr. Steven Powell, Medical Director at CARMAhealth. "The profound beneficial effect that ketamine has on depression and PTSD is very impressive. We are excited to be able to recommend this safe and effective treatment to our patients who would benefit."
What sets Kalypso's ketamine low-dose treatments apart from those offered elsewhere is their use of five distinct proprietary ketamine formulations to create an individualized approach to the patient's symptoms. Kalypso's approach to the treatment process has resulted in remarkable success through more than 7,500 ketamine infusions since founded in 2016.
Ketamine therapy is an in-office procedure. CARMAhealth has been taking steps to ensure the safety of our staff and clients during the COVID-19 pandemic including prescreening all clients prior to entry to the clinic, converting most non-infusion visits to telehealth and staggering in-office visits to minimize contact in the waiting room, sanitizing all procedure rooms between appointments, and of course implementing standard precautions including masks, gloves, and gowns for our staff and patients and readily available hand and surface sanitizers.
"This partnership with CARMAhealth is the next step in our expansion to bring our unique ketamine treatments to those who are suffering," said Dr. Cannon Clifton, Kalypso Wellness Center's CEO and Co-Founder. "We could not have found a more effective partner for this expansion than CARMAhealth, with all the work they've done to care for patients with, depression and anxiety. The clear winners here are the patients in Austin and the surrounding areas. When they come to this location, they are going to receive the best possible treatment and see amazing results."
About Kalypso Wellness Centers
Kalypso Wellness Centers was formed in 2016 by two board-certified anesthesiologists, Dr. Cannon Clifton, CEO and Dr. Bryan Clifton, CMO; and two board certified pain management physicians, Dr. Mark Moran, Chief Science Officer and Dr. Scott Worrich, Chief Clinical Officer. They were tired of seeing patients needlessly suffering and chronically debilitated on prescription narcotics. After many months of research, they found a promising new solution with the use of ketamine infusions. As treatments continued, they created the RESET Ketamine Therapy®, which includes five distinct proprietary ketamine formulations: Kalypso-Calm®, KalyCan®, KalyMax®, Kalypso-Pro® and Kalypso-Zen®. Upon further investigation, they discovered that when tailored to each patient's unique disease state, these infusions can provide a substantial improvement in quality of life for patients with anxiety, major depressive disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, chronic pain, and migraines/chronic headaches.
