CRPS Treatment

Innovative and Patient-First Treatment

Ketamine & CRPS Details

Somewhere around 200,000 American adults are diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) every year, according to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association.

CRPS is a chronic pain condition that affects a specific arm or leg, usually after an injury – although the pain is out of proportion to the severity of the injury. Treatment should be started early to ease the symptoms as much as possible.

At Mind Balance Infusions, we know how debilitating this condition can be – that’s why we believe in ketamine treatment. Up to 70% of patients report relief after just one ketamine infusion, unlike the weeks or months it can take using other treatment options.

Sudden Pain

People with CRPS report sudden burning and "pins and needles" pain. With time, this pain may spread from the affected area to throughout the entirety of the limb. Sometimes it even becomes "mirror pain" - pain also on the same spot of the opposite limb.

Impaired Muscle Strength

Despite CRPS not directly injuring nerve fibers with any impact on muscle movement, many people with CRPS report having difficulty moving the affected body parts. Studies show that pain in the movement-coordinating sensory inputs may be the cause of this.

Excess Bone Growth

X-ray imaging research indicates that bones receiving signals from the affected limbs can also be affected by CRPS. Fortunately, medical professionals have methods of pinpointing the damage done and finding effective treatments - like IV ketamine infusion - that can help.

We Make a Difference

How Can Ketamine Help CRPS?

Living with CRPS can make everyday life a challenge. Taking the time to seek treatment for yourself is an accomplishment you should celebrate. At Mind Balance Infusions, we know how hard it can be to keep trying treatments and not see results – that’s where ketamine infusion comes in.

Studies show that up to 75% of patients report improvement in their symptoms after just a single ketamine infusion.

Ketamine treatment at Mind Balance works by targeting the CRPS itself by interacting with the NMDA receptor and glutamate – two parts of the brain essential for communication and connection.
