SPRAVATO® vs Ketamine Therapy: Which is Right for Your Mental Health Journey?
Invictus Clinic 2025-02-25
Ketamine was previously used mainly as a type of anesthetic during wars as well as in hospitals. Fast forward to 2020, and ketamine therapy is gaining ground as being a promising treatment for chronic pain, one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.
The human spine is built out of bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord runs through a canal in the center of the vertebrae, and nerve roots split from this cord and then travel through various areas of the body. These roots can become pinched or damaged, resulting in a painful condition called radiculopathy.
Ketamine was first approved by the FDA for use as an anesthetic but is also a powerful pain reliever. While you may have heard of it as the club drug abused in large doses as Special K, ketamine is what some researchers are calling the biggest breakthrough in treatment in radiculopathy in decades. When infused at a low dose into the bloodstream, studies show that ketamine may be up to 80% effective at treating the symptoms of radiculopathy.
One benefit of IV ketamine infusions for the treatment of Radiculopathy is its ability to bring relief to symptoms sometimes within hours or even minutes, rather than the weeks or months physical therapy can take.
Research into ketamine for the treatment of radiculopathy is still ongoing, but it is believed that ketamine helps foster connections between synapses and restore damaged nerve connections, effectively rewiring the nerves.
If you or someone you may know if suffering from pain and would like more information about ketamine infusions for radiculopathy treatment, call The Invictus Clinic today at 770-580-1042 and schedule your free consultation or contact us online.
