During the interview, Dr. Malchow discussed the importance of helping appropriate patients safely reduce or eliminate opioid medications while effectively managing chronic pain.
Unlike traditional pain management strategies that may rely heavily on opioids, ketamine works through different neurological pathways. In carefully selected patients, ketamine therapy may help reduce opioid requirements as part of a comprehensive, physician-supervised treatment plan.
Interview Highlights
Ketamine may support appropriate patients working to reduce long-term opioid use under medical supervision.
Dr. Malchow described ketamine’s role in helping the nervous system respond to pain signals in a healthier way.
The Franklin clinic has treated nearly 700 patients and administered approximately 6,500 ketamine infusions.
Why Physician Experience Matters
While more clinics now offer ketamine infusions, relatively few are directed by physicians with Dr. Malchow’s background in anesthesiology, academic medicine, military medicine, and Veterans Health Administration leadership.
His experience extends beyond administering ketamine. Throughout his career, Dr. Malchow has helped develop treatment protocols, educate healthcare professionals, and contribute to the growing body of research surrounding ketamine’s therapeutic use.
