Ketamine infusions are a viable treatment option due to their potential to provide long-lasting pain relief, when most all else has failed. They are also gaining popularity because of their proven effectiveness and safety. While ketamine is powerful, it has a much lower habit-forming potiential, when administered in a safe, monitored, and clinical environment like Wyoming Wellness Center.
Ketamine works directly on the brain by blocking certain pain receptors, working on various different receptors, and creating new neural pathways and synapses. For chronic pain, this can mean relief from some or all symptoms, and aid in the healing process.

Tracy Richard’s initial experience with ketamine has been during her 13+ years of practicing anesthesia as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. While the ketamine worked as an effective anesthetic and pain medication for her surgical patients, it had unexpected effects: relief from some forms of chronic pain.
This pain relief, coupled with its effectiveness, safety, and lack of major side effects, has made it a forerunner for non-traditional pain treatment.
