Ketamine for Neuropathy

Ketamine may help patients with neuropathy by calming overactive pain signals in the nervous system and reducing nerve hypersensitivity. It also works on brain pathways involved in pain processing, which can help improve daily functioning.

Advanced Care for Nerve Pain and Sensory Disorders

Neuropathy is a painful, often disabling condition caused by damage or dysfunction in the nerves. It can lead to burning sensations, tingling, numbness, electric-shock feelings, and hypersensitivity that interfere with daily life. When traditional medications fail to control symptoms, ketamine therapy offers a science-based approach that targets abnormal nerve signaling at its source rather than just dulling pain.

Ketamine has a long history of medical use and is now being explored as a valuable option for individuals suffering from chronic nerve pain, especially when conventional methods no longer provide relief.

Understanding Neuropathy

Neuropathy impacts the nervous system’s ability to transmit signals properly. Damaged nerves may misfire and send pain signals without physical injury.

Common symptoms include:

  • Burning or stabbing pain

  • Tingling or “pins and needles”

  • Numbness

  • Sensitivity to touch

  • Muscle weakness

  • Temperature intolerance

  • Balance issues

  • Sleep problems

How Ketamine Therapy Helps Neuropathy

Ketamine calms overstimulated nerve circuits and can interrupt pain transmission patterns in the nervous system.

Ketamine may help by

  • Reducing nerve pain intensity

  • Decreasing hypersensitivity

  • Interrupting chronic pain signaling

  • Resetting abnormal pain pathways

  • Reducing inflammation in the nervous system

  • Improving sleep

  • Enhancing emotional resilience

  • Lowering reliance on pain medications

Conditions That May Benefit from Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine therapy may be helpful for:

  • Diabetic neuropathy

  • Peripheral neuropathy

  • Post-surgical nerve pain

  • Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy

  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

  • Spinal cord injury pain

  • Radiculopathy

  • Idiopathic neuropathy

Ketamine therapy can be beneficial for neuropathy by helping to reset abnormal pain signaling in the nervous system. By targeting NMDA receptors involved in chronic pain, ketamine may reduce nerve sensitivity and provide relief.
