Ketamine Infusion

What Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Ketamine Infusion Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses low doses of ketamine, administered intravenously, to target pain pathways and reset chemical activity in the brain and nervous system. Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine has been widely studied for its ability to reduce chronic pain and alleviate symptoms of mood disorders by acting on the NMDA receptors in the brain.

During treatment, the medication is delivered slowly through an IV under careful medical supervision, allowing for precise dosing and maximum safety. Many patients report noticeable relief and improved function after just a few sessions.

Conditions Treated with Ketamine Infusion Therapy

Ketamine Infusions can be beneficial for patients suffering from chronic pain syndromes and treatment-resistant mood conditions, including:

• Neuropathic Pain: Persistent nerve pain from conditions like diabetic neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), or post-surgical nerve injury.

• Fibromyalgia: Widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and tenderness caused by changes in how the brain processes pain signals.

• Migraines and Headaches: For patients with frequent, severe headaches that do not respond to conventional medications.

• Depression and Anxiety: Particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression, ketamine can help rebalance mood-regulating neurotransmitters.

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Helps reduce the severity of intrusive thoughts and anxiety associated with trauma.

• Chronic Pain Syndromes: Such as spinal pain, arthritis, or back pain that persists despite other interventions.
