Millions of people live with chronic pain that doesn’t respond well to conventional treatments. Conditions like neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and CRPS can take a toll on quality of life. Ketamine therapy, once reserved for anesthesia, is emerging as a promising option in pain management. In this blog, we’ll break down how ketamine works, its benefits, and what patients can expect.
Understanding Ketamine’s Role in Pain Management
Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, which play a key role in pain signaling and central sensitization (a driver of chronic pain). It helps reset faulty pain pathways and reduce hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain).
Benefits of Ketamine for Chronic Pain
- Rapid Relief: Many patients experience improvement in pain levels after just a few sessions.
- Opioid-Sparing: Ketamine can reduce reliance on opioids, helping patients avoid side effects and dependency.
- Mood Support: Chronic pain and depression often go hand-in-hand; ketamine’s mood-stabilizing effects offer additional relief.
- Improved Function: By reducing pain, ketamine can help patients regain mobility and engage in life more fully.
