Chronic anxiety, depression, and pain can lead to a reduction in neuronal connections, causing a stunted neural network.
Ketamine aids in repairing this damage by promoting neuroplasticity, facilitating the growth of new connections, and enhancing the strength of neural networks within the brain.
Ketamine can also help reduce negative thoughts by regulating activity in a region of the brain called the default mode network.
By altering connectivity in this part of the brain, ketamine can help people to break out of old thought patterns that cause anxiety and depression.
Given its ability to promote the creation of new, healthy neural connections, ketamine can be a powerful tool for managing mental health and chronic pain.
Many people find that the positive effects of ketamine therapy last for months, and occasional "boosters" can prolong these effects even more.
Clinical research continues to demonstrate that ketamine can be used to treat mental health conditions and their symptoms successfully.

Our training as anesthesia providers has us very interested in the control and taking away of pain. Ketamine is used day in and day out across the country as part of a multimodal plan to reduce pain in patients. That includes pain from Migraine headaches, Cancer Pain, Neuropathic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease, Chronic Sickle Cell Pain and much more.
