Ketamine Therapy
What Is Ketamine?
Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine is now recognized as one of the most promising treatments for chronic pain and mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. At low, carefully controlled doses, ketamine works by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain—helping to “reset” overactive neural pathways, reduce inflammation, and promote neuroplasticity (your brain’s ability to heal and adapt).
Unlike traditional medications, ketamine often provides rapid relief, especially for patients who haven’t responded to other treatments.
Ketamine for Pain
Find relief when nothing else has worked.
Ketamine infusions offer a powerful, science-backed option for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, CRPS, neuropathic pain, and more. Unlike traditional pain medications, ketamine works on the NMDA receptors in the brain, helping to “reset” overactive pain pathways and reduce pain intensity at the source.
- Modulates central nervous system pain signals
- Often reduces reliance on opioids and daily pain meds
- Effective for pain that is resistant to other treatments
- Administered in a calm, supportive, clinical setting
What to Expect:
Infusions for chronic pain typically last 1 to 4 hours, depending on your condition and treatment plan. Most patients begin with a series of 3 to 5 infusions over several days or weeks. For migraines, we often start with a single 4-hour infusion and assess response before planning additional treatments.
Many patients report a noticeable reduction in pain within the first few sessions, along with improved sleep, mobility, and quality of life. Relief can last weeks to several months, and maintenance infusions may be recommended for sustained results.
If chronic pain has disrupted your life, ketamine therapy may offer a new path forward—real relief, when you need it most. Schedule a consultation today to explore if it’s right for you.
Ketamine for Migraines
For those living with frequent or treatment-resistant migraines, ketamine offers a new path to relief. Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, which are involved in pain signaling and central sensitization—key factors in chronic migraine.
By calming overactive pain pathways and reducing neuroinflammation, ketamine can help disrupt the migraine cycle, often providing rapid relief when other treatments have failed.
At Quenby’s, we typically begin migraine treatment with a single 4-hour infusion, carefully tailored to your needs and closely monitored for comfort and safety.
If migraines are taking over your life, ketamine may offer powerful, science-backed relief—and a chance to regain control.
At Quenby’s, we’ve been successfully helping patients find meaningful relief from migraines for years using neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport. Now, we’re thrilled to expand our care with another proven treatment option—ketamine infusions—offering even more support on your journey to lasting relief.
Ketamine for Mood
Ketamine Infusions for Depression, Anxiety & PTSD
Fast-acting relief when traditional treatments fall short.
Ketamine therapy offers hope for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. Unlike conventional antidepressants that can take weeks to work—or may not work at all—ketamine often brings rapid improvement in mood, clarity, and emotional resilience, sometimes within hours or days.
By targeting the NMDA receptors and enhancing the brain’s ability to form new neural connections (neuroplasticity), ketamine helps “rewire” unhelpful thought patterns and reset the nervous system—making space for healing, hope, and relief.
- Rapid-acting antidepressant effects
- Can reduce suicidal thoughts within hours
- Improves emotional regulation and resilience
- Enhances results when combined with therapy
- Administered in a calming, monitored setting
What to Expect:
Infusions for mood disorders typically last about 1 hour, and most patients begin with a series of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks. Many people notice mood shifts after the first or second treatment. Relief can last weeks to months, and maintenance infusions may be recommended based on your response and goals.
Ketamine is not a cure, but it can be a powerful catalyst for change—especially when paired with psychotherapy, mindfulness, or other integrative approaches.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unheard, you’re not alone—and there is another option. Schedule a consultation to see if ketamine therapy is right for you.
What Does A Ketamine Infusion Feel Like?
A deeply introspective, often calming experience—guided and supported every step of the way.
During a ketamine infusion, patients are comfortably settled in a peaceful, private treatment room. The medication is delivered through an IV over about 40 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the condition being treated. You'll be closely monitored throughout to ensure safety and comfort.
What you might feel:
- A light, floaty or dreamlike sensation
- A sense of emotional distance or detachment from thoughts and worries
- Shifts in perspective or heightened insight
- A deep sense of calm or mental stillness
- Mild-moderate visual or sensory distortions (like soft colors or light movement)
Some describe it as a mental reset, others as a meditative or even spiritual experience. While it’s not uncommon to feel emotional during or after an infusion, many patients report a sense of release, clarity, or lightness afterward.
You’re always in control—and we’re with you throughout the entire experience. Noise-canceling headphones, eye masks, and calming music are available to help you feel grounded and supported.
While everyone’s experience is unique, most patients emerge feeling relaxed, introspective, and emotionally lighter, with effects building over the course of a treatment series.
