How It Helps

How Ketamine Helps Post-Op & Injury Recovery

Surgical recovery and serious injury put the nervous system under siege — and prolonged opioid use adds risks of its own. Ketamine infusions blunt post-operative pain sensitization at the NMDA receptor, reducing the pain burden and supporting an active, faster recovery.

This approach comes directly from founder Charles Miller’s research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in opioid-free pain management through ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Our approach →

Your Questions, Answered

Post-Op & Injury Recovery FAQs

When should recovery infusions start?+

Timing depends on your procedure and care team — some patients benefit soon after surgery, others during rehabilitation when pain limits progress. Your consultation coordinates with your surgeon or physician.

Can this help traumatic brain injury (TBI)?+

Ketamine’s neuroplastic effects can support recovery from TBI alongside standard rehabilitation. We evaluate each case individually at consultation.

Will this interfere with my other medications?+

Our CRNAs review your full medication list before any treatment and coordinate with your existing providers to ensure safety.
