Ketamine
Originally administered as an anesthetic on the battlefield, ketamine is now a cutting-edge treatment in the fight for wellness. Its safety and efficacy as an anesthetic have put it on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
The Breakthrough
In 2000, Yale scientists discovered that when infused at a low dose into the bloodstream, ketamine is a highly effective and fast-acting treatment for chronic pain and depressive disorders.
The How
Unlike traditional antidepressants that increase the amount of serotonin in the brain, ketamine is believed to rewire the brain’s neurons along new pathways.
The Risks
Side effects during treatment include risk of increased heart rate and blood pressure. While we counsel our patients on all possible side effects, each individual must determine if the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Potential Applications
Ketamine can be used to help manage symptoms in a wide variety of situations — from depression to addiction. Learn more about the ways ketamine can help by viewing the applications below.

Ketamine for Chronic Pain
Finding New Hope
Chronic pain takes many forms and can include fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), migraines and more. Two-thirds of patients find significant sustained pain relief through ketamine infusions.
Pain Relief with Ketamine
Ketamine works by blocking specific pain receptors in your brain. At the same time, it resets some of the nerve cells in your brain and spine. The result is significant pain relief that can last up to six months post-infusion.
Let us help manage and diminish your pain without the use of addictive and less effective narcotics. Contact us now for your consultation.
Ketamine for Substance Abuse Disorders
Supporting Recovery
Ketamine infusions are a promising method for treating addiction and substance abuse disorders.
Kicking the Addiction
Substance abuse creates new pathways in the brain that cause cravings. Ketamine works by rapidly building new neural pathways that effectively bypass those addiction pathways. The new connections are useful in maintaining sobriety and living a life free from addiction. To discuss how ketamine can help you overcome addiction, contact us for a consultation.
