How Does Ketamine Help Treat Chronic Pain?

Due to ketamine’s analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, Ketamine Infusion Therapy can be many times better than opioid pain medication for managing the symptoms of chronic pain. It combats pain by acting against a specific chemical receptor known as N-methyl-D-aspartate, or NMDA, which is found in the nervous system, and helps modulate how the brain perceives pain. Ketamine also causes the body to decrease release of inflammatory mediators known as cytokines. The low-dose ketamine causes increased production and release of a protein in the brain, identifying and removing the neuronal synapses for pain while also creating new, healthy neuronal connections. It is much like resetting or rebooting a computer that has just crashed. Receiving meaningful relief from chronic pain and discomfort is the primary goal of this treatment.

Is Ketamine Right for You?

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a broad term describing excessive and prolonged pain due to inflammation that follows an injury or surgery.

Generalized Chronic Pain can be secondary to structural issues such as pinched nerves or inflammation due to excessive physical stress.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy can better treat chronic pain that would otherwise require large doses of narcotics or other painkillers. While these medications can help to relieve symptoms in the short term, they are not without their side effects. Unlike opioids, which make a patient more sensitive to pain over time, Ketamine Infusion Therapy helps reduce the pain and rolls back the hypersensitivity caused by opioid therapy.

The Scenic City Neurotherapy’s pain-focused ketamine infusion protocols are individually tailored to fit each patient with the goal of minimizing inflammation and optimizing the way the brain perceives pain stimulus. This in turn allows the patient’s nervous system and perception of their physical environment to reset, making many chronic pain conditions more manageable and often in some cases providing complete relief without the need for a daily medication. The goal of Scenic City Neurotherapy is always to provide meaningful improvement in each patient’s quality of life.
