KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY IN FRANKLIN, TN

WHAT IS KETAMINE?

Ketamine is an anesthetic drug safely administered by anesthesiologists since 1970. Over the past 20 years, physicians have learned that ketamine can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Major depression

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD

• Anxiety and/or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

• Chronic pain

• And More

At the Tennessee Ketamine and Wellness Center, we give HOPE to patients who have not responded to other treatments for these conditions. In addition to the Nashville, TN area, patients travel from all across the country to receive care at the Tennessee Ketamine and Wellness Center.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT.

Our anesthesiologists will safely titrate your dose upwards to maximize the likelihood of a positive response using most commonly one-hour infusions for mental health indications and four-hour infusions for chronic pain or opioid dependence indications.

Many patients for whom ketamine is effective in reducing pain are able to reduce the number of pain medications they need to take, and some can entirely eliminate their dependence on opioid pain medicines.

HOW DOES KETAMINE WORK?

Ketamine can work in three different ways to effectively treat pain and depression.

• It increases the amount of glutamate in the nervous system, which is an excitatory amino acid and neurotransmitter. This increases neuro connections so that the brain and spinal cord process pain in a healthier way, which also decreases depression.

• It resets pain receptors. With chronic pain, these receptors are turned on all the time. Ketamine quiets them down.

• It decreases the inflammation in the nervous system that contributes to pain and depression.
