Why is chronic pain hard to treat?

Chronic pain is hard to treat because pain is a complex sensation that affects everyone differently. Chronic pain is pain that lasts three or more months.

This type of pain may affect any part of the body and occur all the time or come and go. You can develop chronic pain from an underlying degenerative condition like arthritis. Or, it may occur following an acute injury or illness that leaves you more sensitive to painful sensations.

Treatment for chronic pain varies and may not provide long-term relief. Your ongoing pain may cause other problems like depression and anxiety that worsen your symptoms.

Ketamine therapy is an alternative treatment for people with chronic pain that can provide long-term relief. 

When should I consider ketamine therapy for chronic pain?

If you have chronic pain that’s affecting your quality of life and traditional pain management interventions aren’t working, then you should consider ketamine therapy. Oasis Infusions uses ketamine to treat many chronic pain conditions, including:

• Chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Fibromyalgia
• Migraines
• Neuropathic pain

Ketamine therapy also alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety. 

How does ketamine help chronic pain?

Ketamine is an anesthetic that works by blocking specific pain receptors in the brain. It’s used as a general anesthetic during surgery. For chronic pain, researchers theorize that ketamine may help reset your pain sensory cells, reducing your pain sensitivity. 

Oasis Infusions provides ketamine therapy as an intravenous (IV) treatment or an intramuscular injection. All ketamine treatments are done at the clinic under close supervision. 

When can I expect to feel relief from my chronic pain?

Results from ketamine therapy for chronic pain vary, but you may feel relief right away. Oasis Infusions customizes your ketamine therapy treatment plan based on the cause of your chronic pain.

You may need a series of treatments to get the best results. The length of your treatment depends on many factors and varies from person to person. 

Even if the pain returns, you may find it easier to manage because your body is more resilient against the discomfort. The boost in mood from ketamine therapy may also improve how you handle stress, reducing the frequency and severity of painful flare-ups.
