Ketamine Infusion Therapy

Ketamine therapy represents one of the most significant advances in modern medicine for the treatment of chronic pain, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. At ReGen Advanced Infusion & Wellness, we use precision-guided ketamine protocols to help patients break free from chronic suffering and restore optimal neurological function.

Ketamine is not simply a medication. It is a catalyst that allows the brain to reset dysfunctional pathways, reduce inflammation, and promote healing at a cellular level.

Benefits of Ketamine Therapy

Rapid Relief
Neurological Healing
Reduction in Chronic Pain
Improved Emotional Well-Being
Long-Lasting Results

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a synthetic pharmaceutical compound classified as a dissociative anesthetic. It has been used safely in hospitals and medical settings since its FDA approval in 1970 and is included on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines due to its proven safety and effectiveness.

For decades, ketamine has been used in emergency medicine, surgery, and anesthesia because it provides pain relief without suppressing breathing. More recently, research has demonstrated its powerful ability to treat conditions involving chronic pain, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and neurological dysfunction.

Unlike traditional medications that may take weeks or months to work, ketamine can produce rapid improvements in symptoms, sometimes within hours or days, by restoring healthy communication between brain cells.

How Ketamine Works

Ketamine works by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a critical role in mood regulation, pain perception, learning, and memory. It blocks NMDA receptors and stimulates pathways that promote neural repair and growth.

This results in several important therapeutic effects:

Promotes neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to heal and form new connections)
Increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports neuron growth and repair
Reduces chronic inflammation in the brain and nervous system
Interrupts maladaptive pain and mood circuits
Resets dysfunctional neural pathways associated with depression and chronic pain

Ketamine also temporarily quiets the Default Mode Network (DMN), the part of the brain associated with rumination, anxiety, and negative thought patterns. This allows the brain to reorganize and adopt healthier patterns of thinking and emotional regulation.

Conditions Ketamine Therapy Can Help Treat

Ketamine therapy has been shown to benefit patients suffering from:

Mental Health Conditions

Treatment-resistant depression
Anxiety disorders
PTSD
Bipolar depression
Suicidal ideation
OCD

Ketamine has demonstrated rapid antidepressant effects, often relieving symptoms faster than traditional antidepressants.

Chronic Pain Conditions

Neuropathic pain
Fibromyalgia
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Chronic musculoskeletal pain
Post-surgical pain

Ketamine works by resetting pain pathways and reducing central nervous system sensitization.

Benefits of Ketamine Therapy

Many patients experience significant improvements in mood, outlook, and overall quality of life following treatment. Patients undergoing ketamine therapy at ReGen may experience:

Rapid Relief

Improvement in mood and pain symptoms within hours to days
Faster response compared to traditional medications

Neurological Healing

Stimulates new neural connections
Improves brain function and cognitive clarity

Reduction in Chronic Pain

Interrupts pain signaling pathways
Reduces central sensitization

Improved Emotional Well-Being

Reduced anxiety and depression
Enhanced emotional resilience
Improved motivation and mental clarity

Long-Lasting Results

Relief may last weeks or longer following treatment
Maintenance treatments can sustain long-term improvement

What to Expect During Ketamine Therapy

At ReGen, ketamine therapy is performed in a controlled, medically supervised environment to ensure safety and optimal results.

Step 1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We perform a detailed medical and psychiatric assessment to determine if ketamine is appropriate and safe for you.

Step 2. Precision Administration

Ketamine is administered via IV infusion or injection to ensure accurate dosing and rapid therapeutic effect. IV administration allows precise control over dosing and duration.

Treatments typically include:

40-minute infusion
15–30 minutes of recovery

Total visit time of approximately 90 minutes

Patients are monitored continuously throughout the entire process.

Step 3. Neurological Reset and Recovery

During treatment, patients often experience:

Deep relaxation
Altered sensory perception
Reduced pain perception
Emotional clarity or insight

These effects typically resolve within hours, and patients return home the same day with a support person.

Common Side Effects of Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine is extremely safe when administered under medical supervision. Most side effects are temporary and resolve within hours.

Common side effects may include:

Dizziness
Mild nausea
Blurred vision
Temporary dissociation or altered perception
Temporary sedation

These effects are transient and typically resolve as the medication wears off. Some patients may feel emotionally vulnerable immediately after treatment, which is a normal part of the neurological reset process. Our protocols are designed to minimize side effects and ensure patient safety at all times.

Is Ketamine Safe?

Ketamine has been used safely in medicine for over 50 years and has an excellent safety profile when administered appropriately. It does not suppress breathing like many sedatives and is widely used in hospitals and emergency medicine.

At ReGen, ketamine therapy is delivered only under strict medical supervision, with continuous monitoring to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.

Who is a Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?

Our providers will determine if ketamine therapy is appropriate based on your medical history and goals. You may be a candidate if you suffer from:

Chronic pain that has not responded to traditional treatments
Depression or anxiety resistant to medications
PTSD or trauma-related symptoms
Neurological dysfunction or persistent mood disorders
