Fibromyalgia Treatment
Fast & Efficient Fibromyalgia Treatment in Franklin, TN
“Time is not a cure for chronic pain, but it can be crucial for improvement. It takes time to change, to recover, and to make progress.”
Fibromyalgia affects around 4 million adults just in the U.S. alone. Being ultra-sensitive to pain and fatigue throughout the day can leave you aggravated and bewildered, even more so if these kinds of symptoms pester you daily or weekly.
Amongst the primary medications chosen for adult fibromyalgia patients in the US is Lyrica. A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial revealed that the drug had little to no effect on pain levels in adolescents.

What Are The Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
The widespread symptom of fibromyalgia is pain. Individuals have an increased sensitivity to various sensory stimuli and an abnormally lowered pain tolerance. Those living with fibromyalgia may also experience the following:
- Pain and stiffness all over the body
- Fatigue and tiredness
- Depression and anxiety
- Sleep problems
- Problems with thinking, memory, and concentration
- Headaches, including migraines
- Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
- Digestive problems
How Does Ketamine Help With Fibromyalgia?
It is believed that the leading cause of chronic pain is due to overactivity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain. Ketamine helps fibromyalgia symptoms by attaching to the NMDA receptor and blocking it from being activated by glutamate, a neurotransmitter, thereby helping to mute the effects of chronic pain symptoms. By connecting to those receptors, ketamine may be able to amplify the number of glutamate neurotransmitters in the empty space between neurons.
Glutamate then interacts with the AMPA receptors. Together, these receptors bring about the discharge of multiple molecules that boost the brain’s neuroplasticity — essentially, ketamine infusions allow the brain to reset and restore important nerve connections.
The Ketamine Infusion Experience
During treatment, we go above and beyond to make sure all of our patients feel as comfortable as possible in their own private rooms. Infusions typically last 45-60 minutes for mood disorders, while chronic pain conditions require a larger dose and longer duration of infusion.
A number of our patients refer to a “dissociative” effect, and most of our patients respond positively to this sensation. In many cases, this disassociation effect is what aids with your treatment and delivers a positive response to ketamine therapy.
These are all ordinary components of the treatment. You will always remain in a safe atmosphere with our team there to monitor you and be readily available during your infusion.
What Are The Side Effects of Ketamine Treatment?
As a new treatment option for fibromyalgia, ketamine does have a few minor side effects. These can include a dream-like feeling, disrupted vision, lightheadedness, nausea, or some slight anxious feelings during treatment. Ketamine may also cause a slight elevation in heart rate and blood pressure.
Ketamine is an FDA-approved medication utilized in “off-label” use for infusion therapy. Off-label use indicates that it is a treatment that the FDA did not initially authorize. The FDA approves prescription medications only for specific uses, but most medications at some point develop off-label uses as a result of the clinical experience that develops with time.
