Spravato

Are you struggling with depression that hasn’t improved with traditional medications? At SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine Doctors, we offer Spravato® (esketamine) treatment, an FDA-approved therapy designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression.

If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants without relief, Spravato may offer a new path forward.

Understanding Spravato Treatment

Spravato is a prescription nasal spray derived from esketamine, a medication that works differently than traditional antidepressants. While most antidepressants target serotonin or other neurotransmitters, Spravato acts on the NMDA receptor in the brain, helping to restore neural connections that may be affected by depression.

Spravato is administered in our office under medical supervision and is used in combination with an oral antidepressant.

Because it works through a different pathway, some patients experience improvement faster than with standard medications.

Conditions Treated with Spravato

• Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD): Depression that has not improved after trying at least two different antidepressant medications.
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with Suicidal Thoughts or Actions: Spravato may help reduce depressive symptoms in adults experiencing severe episodes.

Benefits of Spravato Treatment

Choosing Spravato at SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine Doctors offers several advantages:

• Fast-Acting Relief: Some patients report improvement in symptoms within hours to days.
• New Mechanism of Action: Works differently than traditional antidepressants, offering hope when other medications haven’t worked.
• Medically Supervised Care: Administered in-office under professional monitoring for safety and effectiveness.
• Non-Daily Treatment Option: Unlike many oral medications, Spravato is not taken every day.
