Experience advanced relief from fibromyalgia with ketamine therapy.
Living with fibromyalgia can be overwhelming, especially when conventional treatments fall short. We offer a breakthrough approach with ketamine therapy, providing rapid relief where other medications may take weeks or months. Our goal is to help you regain control, find lasting relief, and improve your quality of life.
Fibromyalgia is a persistent pain condition characterized by widespread discomfort and fatigue without a clear underlying cause. Symptoms often emerge following an injury or physical trauma but can also develop without an apparent trigger.
Research indicates that chronic pain is largely linked to overactivity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain. Ketamine provides relief by binding to NMDA receptors, preventing them from being overstimulated by glutamate—a neurotransmitter involved in pain signaling. This action helps reduce the intensity of chronic pain.
By interacting with these receptors, ketamine also increases glutamate levels in the space between neurons. This leads to activation of AMPA receptors, which trigger the release of molecules that enhance neuroplasticity. In essence, ketamine infusions help the brain reset and restore critical nerve connections, providing relief and improving overall well-being.
Racemic ketamine, which is administered intravenously, goes directly to the patient’s bloodstream.
IV infusions provide a reliable and efficient method for administering this treatment, ensuring rapid absorption and effectiveness.

These injections are delivered into the thick muscles of your arm, thigh, hip, or buttocks.
Ketamine infusion therapy offers a promising approach for managing fibromyalgia pain, especially for those who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments.
As an NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine helps reset pain pathways and reduce central sensitization. Research and case studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms, providing new hope for individuals living with this challenging chronic condition.
For the best results, those with fibromyalgia should collaborate with experienced pain management specialists to create a tailored treatment plan. Ketamine infusion therapy can be an integral part of this plan, offering an alternative solution for long-term pain relief and an improved quality of life.

Originally known for its anesthetic properties, intravenous ketamine has been adapted for pain management, particularly for neuropathic and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
At Neuroplasticity MD, every individual considering ketamine infusion therapy undergoes a detailed consultation to assess their medical history, symptoms, and determine whether ketamine is the right treatment option for them.
Ketamine helps relieve fibromyalgia pain by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which play a crucial role in pain transmission. This action can significantly reduce pain intensity. Additionally, ketamine influences other neurotransmitter systems, offering both pain-relieving and mood-enhancing benefits—especially important given the common overlap between fibromyalgia and depression.
Many individuals receiving ketamine infusions for fibromyalgia report a decrease in pain levels and an overall improvement in their quality of life.
Case studies and research indicate that intravenous ketamine infusions can provide symptom relief, with some patients experiencing lasting benefits even after the infusion sessions have ended. This has led to growing interest in ketamine as an option for those who have not found relief with conventional treatments.
Ketamine infusions for fibromyalgia are conducted at Neuroplasticity MD in a controlled medical environment and typically involve a series of sessions. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes to an hour, during which a carefully measured dose of ketamine is administered intravenously.
The total dosage is customized based on individual needs, taking into account factors such as body weight and symptom severity.
Many insurance companies, along with Medicare, typically exclude coverage for infusion ketamine therapy but do cover intranasal ketamine (Sparavato).
