Ketamine for Depression
Living with depression can feel like carrying a weight that never lifts. Ketamine is often used when traditional treatments haven’t worked, helping to bring a sense of lightness and hope back into daily life. Many patients notice improvements in mood and energy much sooner than with standard medications.
Ketamine for Anxiety
Anxiety can take over your thoughts and make simple moments feel overwhelming. Ketamine offers a new approach by calming overactive brain pathways and helping patients feel more at ease. Many describe feeling less trapped in worry and more able to enjoy life with a sense of balance and peace.
Ketamine for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects every part of life, both physically and emotionally. Ketamine can help by easing nerve pain while also reducing the stress and exhaustion that come with it. For people who have struggled to find relief, ketamine may provide a chance to move, rest, and live more comfortably again.
Welcome To Balanced Ketamine
Ketamine Infusion in Kansas City
Balanced Ketamine is one of the leading mental health treatment centers, provides an innovative mood disorder therapy known as Ketamine Infusion Therapy. We are committed to providing exceptional care by treating the patient with a compelling blend of science, compassion, and integrity.
What is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?
Ketamine infusion therapy involves treating a patient through the administration of the drug ketamine. Ketamine is a substance that doctors initially used in the 1960s as an anesthesia medicine. It was often used to treat wounded soldiers on the frontline in the Vietnam War to ease pain and help sedate them before operations.
Ketamine is not just a modern treatment
It has a place in history
In 1962, an American scientist named Calvin Stevens first created what we know today as Ketamine. In its early stages, Ketamine was mainly used as an anesthetic to replace phencyclidine (PCP). This replacement was needed as phencyclidine caused terrible side effects when it was used.
A year after its creation, Ketamine became patented in the country of Belgium. When Ketamine was first experimented on humans in 1964, Dr. Edward Domino claimed that it only produced side effects of hallucinations. Shortly after, it was named “dissociative anesthetic” by Toni Domino, Dr. Domino’s wife. Initial testing with Ketamine began in 1964; however, the official use of ketamine in animals and humans was not documented until 1966.
Benefits Of Ketamine Infusion Therapy
How Does Ketamine Therapy Work? What Does It Treat?
The ketamine infusion procedure has several applications and has proven highly successful in treating various conditions. Here are just a few of the uses of ketamine infusion therapy.
Ketamine For Chronic Pain
Patients with chronic pain conditions, such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), have been shown to experience significant improvement due to ketamine infusion therapy. Using ketamine infusion for pain works by targeting the chemical receptor in the brain that modulates pain, and therefore ketamine pain infusion treatment works as a highly effective medication.
Ketamine For Depression And Anxiety
In depressive states, the pathways in the brain responsible for dopamine production are inhibited. Controlled doses of Ketamine can help aid the production of dopamine, resulting in improved mood and relieving symptoms.
Ketamine For Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder is linked with feelings of anxiety and symptoms of depression. By enabling the increased production of dopamine and restoring pathways in the brain, IV ketamine infusion has significantly reduced the symptoms of PTSD.
Ketamine For Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a depressive condition, and as such, patients have been shown to respond well to ketamine infusion therapy. The treatment has a marked effect on reducing suicidal thoughts and improving mood.
Ketamine For Migraine Headaches
Migraine pain is notoriously difficult to treat, but ketamine therapy has provided pain relief where other treatments have proved ineffective by targeting the NMDA receptor. The drug targets and activates the area of the brain that helps with pain control.
Ketamine For Nerve Pain And Inflammatory Pain
Inflammation is a normal function that is part of the body’s immune response to prevent infection. Yet when the immune system starts attacking parts of the body it was meant to protect, it can cause inflammatory pain, leading to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. IV ketamine treatment for nerve pain can effectively reduce and relieve the symptoms of this pain in sufferers.
How Does It Work?
The reason ketamine infusion therapy is successful is down to the way the drug targets your brain. There are two major receptors in your brain responsible for relieving depression and stabilizing your mood, and a third is involved in pain control. All three of these receptors are activated by Ketamine.
When the ketamine infusion dose is administered into your body, it is broken down into metabolites that activate these receptors to improve your mood and reduce pain. By activating these receptors, the process known as synaptogenesis repairs pathways in your brain that are causing depression and pain. Moreover, studies show that these pathways are stronger and better connected for sustained periods following successful ketamine infusion treatment.

What Our Patients’ Say
What To Expect From
Your Ketamine Infusion Therapy
We want you to be as relaxed as possible in our care. When you arrive, our dedicated staff will be on hand to ensure you are comfortable in our infusion suite, and you are welcome to bring any comfort materials such as blankets and pillows you wish.
You will be given a nausea medication before ketamine infusion therapy to relieve the side effects that the treatment can sometimes cause. A team of staff, including an anesthesiologist, will be close by to monitor you throughout to ensure you are tolerating the procedure well.
So how do you do ketamine IV therapy? An IV catheter will be placed in your vein. A controlled dose of ketamine will be slowly pumped into your bloodstream for forty minutes. Following the infusion, you will be monitored for an additional forty minutes to ensure the side effects of ketamine are minimized as the dissociative effects wear off.
After the monitoring is complete, you are free to leave as you wish. You will need to bring a driver with you, as the medication used in the treatment can cause mental fogginess, and it will be unsafe for you to drive home yourself.
