Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and neuropathic, chronic pain are characterized by overactive pain nerves that respond inappropriately to a stimulus, making normal sensations such as a light touch extremely painful.  Over time, the nerve “learns” this response, causing a progressive, debilitating condition.  Modern medicine offers limited options to stop this process, primarily because we don’t understand why it starts in the first place.  Ketamine’s unique action has been shown that it can not only help stop these nerves from over-firing, it allows them to reset and possibly regrow new, healthy connections.  If you suffer from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, it is imperative that it is treated aggressively and as early as possible.  Ketamine therapy can be an effective part of a multi-modal approach to treat and overcome your pain.  If you rely heavily on opioids for your pain control, Ketamine Specialists will also work with you and your pain physician to minimize your narcotic intake and provide maximum relief.
