How Ketamine Helps with Chronic Pain
Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain and spinal cord–disrupting the pain signals that often become “hardwired” in chronic pain conditions. It also reduces inflammation and increases the brain’s natural repair mechanisms, improving long-term function.
Ketamine is commonly used for:
- Neuropathic pain (nerve pain)
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Fibromyalgia
- Post-surgical or post-traumatic pain
- Migraines or chronic headaches
- Cancer-related pain
- Central sensitization syndromes
Unlike opioid medications, ketamine does not suppress breathing or create physical dependence, making it a safer long-term alternative for many patients.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before your first infusion, you’ll meet with Dr. Luke for a full medical review to determine if ketamine is the right option for your pain condition. If approved, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan involving low-dose ketamine administered via IV infusion over 40-60 minutes.
We closely monitor you throughout each session to ensure safety and adjust your care plan based on how your body responds. Many patients experience improvements in both pain levels and emotional wellbeing after just a few sessions.
