Living with chronic pain affects every part of life—sleep, mood, work, relationships, and emotional health. When traditional pain treatments fail or cause harmful side effects, many people are left feeling hopeless. Ketamine therapy offers a new approach to pain treatment by operating on the brain’s pain-processing systems rather than just masking symptoms.

Ketamine has been used in medicine for decades and is now gaining attention for its ability to reduce chronic pain at the neurological level. Under medical supervision, ketamine therapy may provide meaningful relief even when other treatments have failed.

Chronic pain is more than just persistent physical discomfort. Over time, pain changes how the brain interprets signals, often leading to a “pain memory” effect, where the nervous system remains in overdrive even after injury has healed.

Chronic pain can involve:

• Central sensitization

• Nervous system hypersensitivity

• Psychological distress

• Sleep disturbance

• Depression and anxiety

Ketamine works by calming hyperactive pain circuits in the brain and reducing the nervous system’s overreaction to pain signals.

Ketamine therapy may help by:

• Reducing pain sensitivity

• Interrupting pain signaling

• Decreasing inflammation in the nervous system

• Resetting central pain processing

• Improving mood and sleep

• Reducing reliance on opioids

• Treating co-existing depression and anxiety

Ketamine therapy may be beneficial for:

• Fibromyalgia

• Neuropathic pain

• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

• Chronic back pain

• Migraines

• Arthritis-related pain

• Post-surgical pain

• Cancer-related pain

• Central sensitization syndromes
