Nestled in the heart of Boerne, Texas, the Advanced Pain Relief Institute specializes in providing effective and innovative ketamine therapy to individuals struggling with diverse chronic pain issues. The primary mission of the Institute, steered dynamically by their dedicated staff, is to help patients conquer pain, instilling in them the confidence to take control of their life again. With an impressive history as an anesthetic, ketamine has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a critical emergency anesthesia medicine. Recent advancements in scientific research have illuminated the ability of sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine, also known as ketamine infusion therapy, to provide healing effects on numerous mental and physical health disorders.

At the forefront of this respected institution is Dr. Ricardo Alvarado, affectionately known to his patients as “Dr. A.” Equipped with rigorous training as both a surgeon and an anesthesiologist, Dr. A brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his practice. He prides himself on overcoming language barriers with his bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish, ensuring clear communication with patients about their treatment process. Uncompromising in its mission to provide relief, if pain persists, the Advanced Pain Relief Institute promises tailored management strategies even when elimination of pain may not be possible. Infusion durations can vary between 40 minutes and 4 hours, contingent on the condition, yet the unwavering support of a dedicated team member ensures all potential side effects are closely monitored and adequately managed. Recognizing that millions suffer from pain and depressive spells, while finding limited relief from traditional methods, the Institute offers research-based ketamine as a promising solution in psychiatry, either as a standalone therapy or a supplemental treatment.
