Ketamine Therapy Chattanooga Tennessee
A Non-opioid Based Treatment for Fibromyalgia, Depression, Dementia, PTSD, post-op pain, post-acute coronavirus, and more
Scenic City Neurotherapy
Neurotherapy, which immediately sounded a little intimidating and potentially scary to me, turns out to be a pretty amazing method of treating Fibromyalgia, Depression, Dementia, PTSD, post-op pain, post-acute coronavirus, and more, without opioid-based drugs or antidepressants.
As someone who likes more natural, non-addictive, non-drug solutions to fix my body.
I was surprised that I had never heard of ketamine therapy.
Then I met Charles Miller, Founder and Provider at Scenic City Neurotherapy.
Why you may want to consider Ketamine Infusion Therapy
If you’re like me, the thought of actually healing the source of the problem, and getting that healing relatively quickly (six appointments over 3-weeks is common) without having to take long term drugs, is worth taking a closer look.
Luckily, Scenic City Neurotherapy’s ‘Learn More’ one-on-one consultation is free of charge. You can bring a friend or relative with you if you’d like.
I’ll tell you more about the ‘Learn More’ consultation in a minute.
Let’s talk a little about how this can work to treat so many different ailments that are typically long-term issues for so many people.
First, Ketamine is an anesthetic – one of many drugs that Charles, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), has specialized training and knowledge to administer safely and properly.
It is a non-opioid drug and is completely out of your system within about 4 hours, which I found astonishing and a delight.
This is how Charles described it to me: Everything happening in the body first goes through the brain, and the brain determines what response it should have, if any.
This becomes an issue when the brain is not communicating optimally and responding to stimuli inappropriately, causing physical pain and mental suffering.
Types of Illness that is Treatable through Ketamine Infusion Therapy
- In the case of PTSD – The person has experienced an extreme situation which in turn causes lesions to develop on the brain.
- Dementia – a case of the brain losing connections over time and causing a lack of memory, many times invoking an inappropriate response to real or imagined happenings.
- Depression – I think we all have experienced this [on some level] or know someone who has.
- Post-op pain – the body is reacting to nerves being damaged and not properly healing.

How Does This Work?
To better explain this, let’s use fibromyalgia as an example of how this treatment works for pain:
For years I’ve been interested in Fibromyalgia. The reason is, while the pain is real, there is nothing outwardly that can be found that is causing that pain.
A terrible situation for a patient!
Without a specific ‘something’ to fix, most doctors prescribe some sort of pain medication that may help relieve some of the pain but fails to treat the root cause. And is why so many people suffer from this for years.
What’s happening is the brain is perceiving some type of injury when there is no clear injury.
In response, the brain (sensing an injury), tells the body it needs to heal the injury.
Then the body activates its ‘healing mode’ which is made up of inflammatory mediators that are sent to the location of the injury.
Yet there is no actual injury, so inflammation is sent throughout the body causing pain in areas that do not need healing. This causes increased stress in the body.
The brain senses the increased stress and in turn releases more ‘healing’, which causes more inflammation and pain.
What Neurotherapy does is attempt to “rewire the brain” (in a good way), so that it realizes there is no actual injury.
Once the brain realizes [that] there is no injury, it stops trying to heal the perceived injury, and the inflammation and pain go away.
Neurotherapy can be thought of as a sort of brain optimization.
As Charles explains it, “It’s not about feeling better, it’s about feeling things correctly”.
When things are good, you should feel good. When something bad happens, you should feel bad. And when nothing is happening, things should remain neutral.
The bottom line is, if you’re feeling pain, depression, PTSD, or some other affliction that seemingly has no real cure, or you have been prescribed (or would like to avoid being prescribed) medication that just helps you maintain your life but isn’t a real cure, you may benefit from Neurotherapy such as Ketamine Infusion Therapy .
