Over the past decade, health care providers have solved more than a few tough-to-treat problems using ketamine therapies.
From issues with chronic pain, which affects more than 1 in 5 Americans, to depression, ketamine provides new hope for scores of people.
At Charlotte Ketamine Center, we make this beneficial treatment available to those who need it. Under the direction of Dr. Neal Taub, our team offers a variety of ketamine treatments, including nebulized ketamine, which we explore here.
Let’s start with some of the issues we can successfully treat with ketamine in general, which works by reorganizing the neuron activity in your brain to encourage healthier patterns.
Ketamine therapy first made a name for itself by providing a much-needed solution for people with treatment-resistant depression — 30% or more of those with depression fall into this category.
Where antidepressants and other therapies fail, ketamine can step in and improve brain activity and mood regulation.
From these early successes, we’ve explored ketamine therapy for other issues and found it can also treat a growing list of other physical and mental health issues, such as:
Research is ongoing to explore further uses of ketamine, but it’s already making a big difference in the lives of people struggling with challenging health conditions.
Nebulized ketamine refers to a delivery technique for ketamine therapy. There are several ways to get ketamine into your system, and many of our patients prefer the nebulized route.
With nebulized ketamine, we create a fine mist that you breathe in. Not only is the treatment easy, but you can avoid the needles that come with IV ketamine.
Ketamine that you breathe in works quickly as it enters your lungs and bloodstream, which is why nebulized ketamine is considered a great treatment for people with depression who are spiraling.
In an emergency setting, researchers find that nebulized ketamine works equally as well as IV ketamine to relieve pain — both work within 30 minutes.
So, whether you’re interested in this treatment because it’s easy to use or fast-acting, nebulized ketamine is a great choice.
To receive your nebulized ketamine, come to our office; we deliver it here under our watchful eyes. Once we’re sure everything went smoothly, you can return home, though you need someone to drive you.
