Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy is an infusion treatment for certain refractory chronic pain conditions — such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and some neuropathic pain — that haven’t responded to other treatments. A controlled, low-dose infusion helps "reset" overactive pain pathways in the nervous system.
