CRPS Treatment
The Best CRPS Treatment - Arvada, CO
Ketamine therapy has been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain disorders such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and is a recommended treatment by the RDS foundation. Relevare is leading the way in custom tailoring infusion treatments to alleviate suffering and help you live your best life.
During your ketamine infusion, you will be continuously monitored and the doctor will administer adjuvant IV treatments to optimize your comfort and treatment effectiveness. Ketamine infusion therapy has shown incredible results in treating CRPS when other treatments have failed.
Relevare is run by an experienced anesthesiologist that feels comfortable treating medically complex patients with multiple medical problems including cardiac and neurologic conditions that might preclude them from receiving treatments in other ketamine clinics.

Featured here is an interview with Dr. Prager who explains the efficacy and science behind intravenous ketamine therapy. He also emphasizes the benefits of receiving treatments from a provider with pharmacological expertise.
Ketamine has been shown to be a fast and efficient treatment option for those who are affected by CRPS.
How Does Ketamine Help Treat CRPS?
Neuropathic pain conditions such as CRPS are a result of improper nerve connections that have developed as a result of nerve injury and/or chronic pain. The body undergoes a process called Central Sensitization. Central Sensitization is when your nociceptive neurons (pain cells) change their default signaling to ON or decrease the threshold needed to turn that pain signal on. “Wind Up” is a phenomenon where the nervous system stays upregulated and in persistently reactive. These features make this kind of pain unique and difficult to treat.
Ketamine prevents Central Sensitization since the drug acts as an antagonist (a blocking agent) at the NMDA receptor. Central Sensitization is primarily mediated by the NMDA receptor. This is why ketamine works when other treatments have failed. Ketamine works by a very different mechanism than opiates and other pain medications. By blocking the NMDA receptor literally ketamine rewires the brain (this has been shown through fMRI studies) and starts to repair the signaling so that those nociceptive neurons (pain cells) change their default signaling back to OFF.

During Your Ketamine Infusion.
Ketamine infusions for pain require doses much higher than those for mental illness, about two to six times higher and infusions tend to last longer, typically ranging from two to four hours.
You will be continuously monitored in a private room throughout your treatment to ensure you remain safe and comfortable throughout your treatment session. The most common side effects, nausea, and dissociation (a feeling of being out of body) are typically easily treated with adjuvant medications.
The longer the infusions the longer the recovery, but not by much. Once the infusion finishes it will generally take anywhere from ten to thirty minutes for the patient to start feeling like the psychoactive effects of the drug are gone. The beneficial effects of the infusion should be evident as soon as the infusion is finished.
During your intake, we will explain more about the process, set expectations, and answer all of your questions.
