Welcome to Your Journey Towards Relief
At our clinic, we are committed to providing innovative treatments to improve your quality of life. Ketamine infusions have emerged as a promising option for various chronic conditions, offering new hope where traditional treatments may have failed. We aim to provide you with essential information about ketamine infusions, helping you make an informed decision about your care.
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a medication primarily used for anesthesia. However, recent studies have shown its effectiveness in treating conditions such as chronic pain, depression, PTSD, and anxiety when administered in lower doses via infusions.
Conditions Treated with Ketamine Infusions:
Chronic Pain: Including fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Mental Health Disorders: Such as major depressive disorder, bipolar depression, PTSD, and severe anxiety.
How Do Ketamine Infusions Work?
Ketamine works by acting on the NMDA receptors in the brain, which play a role in pain transmission and mood regulation. By modulating these receptors, ketamine can provide rapid relief from symptoms of both chronic pain and mental health disorders.
