Chronic pain can negatively influence your quality of life. Chronic pain usually ranges from a mild pinch to extreme pain that can debilitate you. Chronic pain is difficult to deal with for both doctors and patients. In addition, the issue is hard to treat, with some cases calling for more advanced approaches. Adam Camp, MD, is a specialist in the area and does procedures such as Ketamine infusion in Ionia. Such advanced procedures help eliminate chronic pain.

Why have Ketamine infusion
Infusion means having treatments via your arm to eliminate any chronic pain. Your doctor will use an IV at a point on your arm and administer the medicine gradually into your system via a vein. Ketamine helps numb pain, as the medicine works by blocking some pathways that transmit pain receptors to the brain. Your doctor will provide you a low dose of the treatment, which offers immediate results for any form of back pain. After a session, you will note some improvements if you had issues such as pain hypersensitivity and physiological disorders.

What is expected during a ketamine infusion session?
Expect a discussion with your doctor about your problem. Your doctor will then begin the treatment with an IV line, which goes to a point on your arm. Next, the doctor gradually administers the medicine for about 2 hours. Slow infusion is advisable for better results. Staff from Advanced Pain Solutions will analyze your vitals and your body intake of the treatment during the entire 2-hour session. You will then rest for a while and later go home on the same day.
What results does ketamine infusion provide after treatment?
Your body responds to the medicine as soon as it enters your system. Advanced Pain Solution staff members will help determine the success of the treatment. In some cases, patients do not respond to the treatment during their first visit, but they can eliminate some of their pain with other sessions.
