Ketamine for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain changes everything — sleep, work, mood, relationships. When you've cycled through medications, injections, and procedures without lasting relief, ketamine targets pain through a mechanism most other treatments can't reach: the nervous system's own amplification.
Find Your Condition
Each condition below has its own page covering how ketamine applies to it specifically — our clinical approach, who's a candidate, honest outcomes, risks, and the state of the evidence. The strength of that evidence varies by condition, and each page says so plainly.
CRPS
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is among the best-studied uses of ketamine for pain, with controlled trials showing relief lasting weeks to months in responders.
Learn More →Neuropathic Pain
Burning, shooting nerve pain — post-herpetic, diabetic, post-surgical, phantom limb — driven by the NMDA receptors ketamine directly targets.
Learn More →Chronic Migraines
For migraine that has failed preventives, triptans, and CGRP medications — an option for the hardest cases, honestly framed.
Learn More →Fibromyalgia
Widespread pain driven by an amplified nervous system — the mechanism ketamine targets — with candidly mixed evidence on durability.
Learn More →Chronic Back Pain
For back pain with a neuropathic or centralized component that has outlasted therapy, injections, and surgery — carefully selected, honestly assessed.

Ketamine is also used for refractory pain beyond these pages — rheumatoid arthritis pain, phantom limb pain, post-surgical pain syndromes, and other conditions where the nervous system has become part of the problem. If your pain hasn't responded to conventional treatment, it's worth a conversation, and we'll tell you honestly whether the evidence supports trying it in your case.
How we practice: Treatment protocols are physician-directed and supported by experienced clinical staff under the medical oversight of board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Eric Evans, whose more than 30 years of clinical experience help guide the highest standards of patient safety, comfort, and care. Pain infusions are longer than mood infusions, delivered in private rooms with continuous monitoring, and every course starts with an honest evaluation of whether ketamine fits your diagnosis.
