Chronic Pain
An anesthetic treatment for chronic and neuropathic pain that does not add a long-term medication to your healthcare routine.
Ketamine for Neuropathic Pain
Ketamine has been explored as a potential treatment for chronic pain, and there is evidence suggesting its effectiveness in certain cases.
Effective Relief for Neuropathic and Treatment-Resistant Pain
Chronic pain can be debilitating, especially when traditional treatments fall short. Emerge Ketamine offers IV ketamine infusions that target pain at the neurological level to help reduce suffering and improve quality of life.
How Ketamine Works for Chronic Pain
Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors, which are involved in transmitting pain signals throughout the body. These receptors are also involved in a process called central sensitization, when the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to physical stimulation. By disrupting this process, ketamine may help prevent mechanisms responsible for causing chronic pain.
In addition, ketamine has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing pain in conditions linked to inflammation.
Ketamine for Neuropathic Pain
Ketamine has been explored as a potential treatment for chronic pain, and there is evidence suggesting its effectiveness in certain cases.
How Does Ketamine Work to Help Chronic Pain?
Ketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. NMDA receptors play a role in the transmission of pain signals in the central nervous system. By blocking these receptors, ketamine may interrupt or modulate the perception of pain. Chronic pain conditions, such as neuropathic pain, can involve central sensitization, where the nervous system becomes hypersensitive to pain signals. Ketamine may help inhibit central sensitization, thereby reducing the perception of pain. Ketamine has anti-inflammatory properties, and inflammation is often associated with pain. By reducing inflammation, ketamine may contribute to pain relief in conditions with an inflammatory component.
Rapid Relief Without Daily Medications
Ketamine often provides noticeable pain relief within hours to days, unlike many conventional pain treatments that take weeks or months. It is not a long-term daily medication, so it avoids risks like opioid dependence or tolerance.
Conditions Treated
Research shows ketamine can help with the following pain conditions:
If you want to know whether ketamine could help treat your chronic pain condition, book an evaluation, and we’ll determine whether ketamine is right for you.
National Institutes of Health researchers found that a single, low-dose ketamine infusion was relatively free of side effects for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
