Ketamine is a general anesthetic most often used for sedation during surgery. The anesthetic works by binding with a specific receptor in the brain — N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) — and blocking the neurotransmitter glutamate, a chemical your brain needs to function.
Ketamine infusions refer to the low-dose administration of ketamine to treat health conditions. Ketamine is a non-opioid anesthetic that treats pain by managing how sensitive you are to pain signals.
When given in low doses, it provides pain control without taking control of you (it’s not addictive like opioids), giving you relief so you can live the life you love in better health.
At Advanced Spine and Pain Clinics, the team only uses ketamine infusions to treat very specific types of pain, which aren’t always physical.
They provide ketamine infusions for:
Ketamine infusions are a type of functional medicine, a specialized field that integrates traditional medicine with alternative therapies for a more holistic and natural approach to health and healing.

Ketamine infusions are done at the office under close supervision. The length of your infusion depends on your dosage but takes at least an hour.
After treatment, you remain at the office, so the team can monitor you for side effects. You must arrange to have someone drive you home after your ketamine infusion and plan on taking the rest of the day off.
