Ketamine Therapy

A Promising Treatment for Chronic Conditions

If you have ever suffered from any kind of debilitating or chronic condition in your life, you know there are a lot of different medications out there. Some claim to completely cure you, while others merely calm your symptoms. Ketamine used as a therapy that is proving to be very successful in treating many different chronic diseases.

Ketamine & Neurobiology

Ketamine On The Brain

Understanding how ketamine works in your brain can help you understand how and why it is so beneficial for uses other than anesthesia. Ketamine works on a very specific group of cells in your brain called NMDA receptors. These receptors interact with neurotransmitters such as glutamate to rev up your neurons. Most of the time, this is a good thing. However, if your neurons stay in an excitatory state for too long, they begin to die off. This leads to a cascade of events, resulting in certain conditions such as depression or anxiety. These, along with other conditions, have been linked to NMDA receptor malfunction.
Ketamine works directly on the brain to block the NMDA receptor signals. This allows the brain to create new pathways and synapses, which can aid the healing of past injury or illness. It also blocks glutamate, which is important for your memory and emotions. This allows you to feel calm and forget the moments before or after surgery.
Although Ketamine is traditionally used for its anesthetic properties, we have found that it has many other advantages for a variety of illnesses that may be impacting your life.

Benefits

The Many Benefits Of Ketamine

Since ketamine is used for surgery, it helps to calm your mind and also to relieve the pain associated with certain procedures. However, the benefits of ketamine have broken the boundaries of surgery and have shown success in treatment of many conditions, including: Depression, Migraines, PTSD, Chronic Pain, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder.

One of the benefits that ketamine offers is a decreased need for narcotic painkillers. This is a great advantage, due to the increased likelihood of tolerance and complications with long-term narcotic use. If you suffer from chronic pain, ketamine may be a great alternative to traditional treatments.

Another advantage is that ketamine works very quickly, and continues to work even after it’s metabolized by your body. This is especially true when it is used for treatment of depression symptoms. Typical antidepressants need weeks to build up in your body and start working, while ketamine can work in a matter of hours.

Ketamine, when used properly, also does not have a significant effect on your breathing rate or blood pressure. This makes it very safe for use in surgery, as many other drugs that produce a sedating effect can decrease your blood pressure, which can lead to complications.

Although ketamine has shown very positive results for many psychological conditions, it’s not for everybody. It is important to talk to our staff about all aspects of ketamine therapy, including side effects and contraindications for use.

Getting Ketamine Therapy

At Skin 2 Within LLC, our goal is to help you fight your chronic condition through ketamine therapy. We offer IV, Intermuscular, Sublingual, Nasal Spray or Troche.

During the initial appointment we will determine which form of treatment will work best for you. Most appointments take about an hour or less, depending on how you do and the condition you are dealing with. It might be necessary for you to come back for follow-up treatments, but this depends on how you respond to treatment and the improvement of your symptoms.

The best evidence to extend the duration of ketamine’s benefit suggests continuing with a course of six infusions over two weeks, the National Institute of Mental Health protocol. Most patients then only require a single booster treatment every 1-3 months.
