Relieving chronic pain usually involves treating the underlying condition, but in many cases, this is either ineffective or impossible. Treatment then becomes more about pain management.

That’s where ketamine therapy can help.

What Causes Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is any pain in the body lasting longer than three months. It can result from various underlying conditions, injuries, or diseases, including:

  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
  • Neuropathic Pain: Nerve-related pain, often associated with conditions like diabetic neuropathy.
  • Visceral Pain: Pain originating from internal organs, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
  • Chronic Headaches: Migraines and tension-type headaches.
  • Post-Surgical Pain: Pain that persists after surgery or medical procedures.
  • Central Pain Syndromes: Conditions like fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Ketamine for Pain Management in Avoca, PA

Ketamine has been used as an anesthetic and, more recently, to alleviate treatment-resistant depression, but there’s evidence it can treat chronic pain, as well.

Ketamine can:

  • Moderate our brains’ N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which play a role in how we feel pain.
  • Encourage neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to develop and change. Increased neuroplasticity can alter the pathways that lead to chronic pain.
  • Bind to our brains’ opioid receptors to block pain.

 

Many of our patients feel relief within hours or days after their first infusion!
