What is ketamine infusion therapy?
Ketamine is an anesthetic medicine that prevents pain during surgery. In this role, it has a decades-long history proving that it’s safe and effective; so safe it’s often used for children’s surgery. When ketamine is infused in a smaller dose, it has a different effect. Subanesthetic doses of ketamine interact with several biochemical pathways in the brain. In one brain pathway, ketamine blocks NMDA receptors that transmit pain messages. As a result, your ketamine treatment significantly reduces pain. As ketamine interacts in another biochemical pathway, it restores the normal balance of a neurotransmitter called glutamate. This improves mental health conditions because glutamate regulates moods and emotions.
