Our Pain Treatment Philosophy

We believe chronic pain deserves serious, evidence-based solutions. Our focus is on treating pain conditions that involve the nervous system—where signals become distorted and amplified, often long after the original injury has healed.

IV ketamine therapy is not a bandage. It doesn’t mask symptoms temporarily. Instead, it targets the central nervous system directly—helping to reset the faulty pain pathways that drive chronic, neuropathic, or centralized pain. Our team works closely with each patient to design a treatment plan that is thoughtful, safe, and built around your unique condition and goals.

Why IV Ketamine for Chronic Pain?

Most conventional pain treatments rely on opioids or temporary nerve blocks. These approaches may offer short-term relief, but they often fail to address the deeper issue—your nervous system’s overreaction to pain.

IV ketamine works differently. It blocks NMDA receptors in the brain and spinal cord—key channels that transmit and amplify pain signals. By inhibiting these receptors, ketamine helps reduce central sensitization, allowing the nervous system to “relearn” how to interpret pain.

It also promotes neuroplasticity, encouraging the growth of new neural connections that can help restore balance in pain-processing regions of the brain. For many patients, this means a substantial and lasting reduction in pain after just a few sessions.

Conditions We Treat with IV Ketamine

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is one of the most severe and misunderstood pain conditions. Often triggered by injury or surgery, it causes intense, burning pain, skin changes, and hypersensitivity—sometimes spreading beyond the original site of injury. IV ketamine can help by interrupting the feedback loop between the injured area and the brain, calming the nervous system and reducing pain intensity.

Neuropathy

Whether caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, surgery, or injury, neuropathic pain often feels like burning, tingling, or stabbing sensations. Standard medications may not touch this kind of pain. Ketamine works by calming overactive nerve activity, helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and sleep quality.

Phantom Limb Pain

Even after a limb is gone, the brain can continue to generate intense pain sensations—sometimes for years. Phantom limb pain is not imagined; it’s neurological. Ketamine helps by recalibrating the brain’s sensory map and quieting the misfiring nerves that cause pain in a limb that is no longer there.

Postherpetic Neuralgia

This lingering nerve pain after shingles can be severe, unrelenting, and resistant to conventional treatments. IV ketamine may reduce the sensitivity of affected nerves and help the central nervous system break free from the pain cycle.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Often described as one of the most painful conditions known to medicine, trigeminal neuralgia causes sharp, electric-shock-like pain in the face. Ketamine’s ability to modulate central nerve pathways offers potential relief where traditional medications or surgical procedures fall short.

Headache and Facial Pain Syndromes

For patients with chronic migraines, cluster headaches, or facial neuralgia, pain can be constant and disabling. Ketamine has shown promise in reducing headache frequency, duration, and severity—especially in patients who haven’t responded to traditional interventions.

Your Treatment Experience

Before beginning treatment, every patient undergoes a thorough medical and pain history review to determine candidacy. If IV ketamine is appropriate for your condition, we will create a personalized infusion plan based on the type, duration, and severity of your pain.

Each infusion is administered in a private, quiet treatment room under close supervision by our medical team. You’ll receive a sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine through an IV line, typically over 40 to 60 minutes. Most patients remain awake and relaxed during the session, though mild dissociation or a dreamlike state is common and temporary.

After each session, we monitor your vital signs and ensure you are stable before leaving. Many patients begin noticing changes in their pain after just a few infusions.
