Pain is a leading cause of physical disability, and traditional pain management methods often don’t treat the symptoms.  Alternative approaches, like physical therapy and opioids, typically only treat the surface-level symptoms instead of treating the source.

Luckily, ketamine therapy for chronic pain offers a pain management breakthrough.

Ketamine therapy for chronic pain works by repairing and resetting neural pathways in the brain and effectively replacing damaged signals with new, healthy ones. This innovative treatment has been shown to treat conditions like CRPS, Lyme disease, migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.

Studies show that therapy with ketamine can reduce the use of opioids and help with recovery and rehab for both acute and chronic pain. Additionally, ketamine therapy has minimal side effects, making it an excellent solution for pain management, long-term chronic conditions, and emergency situations.

what is ketamine therapy for chronic pain?
Ketamine therapy is a relatively new approach to treating chronic pain. It involves administering low doses of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, intravenously. While it’s primarily known for its anesthetic properties, it has also been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain.
how does ketamine therapy work for chronic pain?
The exact mechanism by which ketamine works to alleviate chronic pain is not fully understood. However, it is believed to interact with certain neurotransmitters in the brain that are involved in pain perception and processing. This interaction may help to reduce pain sensitivity and improve overall pain management.

Ketamine therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of chronic pain conditions, including:

  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Neuropathic pain

While ketamine therapy can provide significant pain relief for many patients, it is not a cure for chronic pain.

The New York Times is Writing About Ketamine

We were quite excited about an article published in the New York Times recently.  The title of the November 5 article was “The Ketamine Cure.”   Our integrative healthcare clinic has been safely working with ketamine since March 2020 and Dr. Stoner, our founding physician, has been working with it for over 20 years as an anesthesiologist.  We were intrigued to see ketamine as a subject outside of medical journals and read the article with great interest.
