A DIFFERENT Option For Persistent Pain
If pain keeps breaking through despite medication, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or other treatment, you may still have options.
Vitalitas evaluates chronic pain carefully, with physician-led treatment, individualized dosing, and monitoring throughout care.
Thoughtful care and rigorous screeninG
Chronic pain can affect movement, sleep, mood, work, relationships, and daily life. Many people who reach out to Vitalitas have already tried medication, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or other pain care and are still looking for relief.
The first step is a careful review of your pain condition, medical history, current medications, prior treatment, and overall clinical picture. If ketamine therapy may be appropriate, we walk you through the plan, what to expect, and how we gauge whether it’s helping you.
OUR PROCESS IS clear, medically supported, and built around your needs.
WHY KETAMINE MAY BE WORTH CONSIDERING
Many people come to Vitalitas after trying medication, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or other pain care without enough relief. Ketamine is not a cure or a guarantee, but it may be a meaningful option when pain is still limiting daily life.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PAIN TREATMENT
Ketamine works differently from many standard pain treatments. For some people with nerve-related pain, that matters when other options have helped only a little, stopped working, or have not lasted long enough.
RESTORED Function And A CHANCE AT Relief
When treatment is helpful, patients may notice lower pain intensity, better movement, more ability to do daily activities, or longer stretches before symptoms break through. Response varies, so we track progress carefully over time.
Chronic Pain Conditions We Commonly Treat
Many people come to Vitalitas after years of treatment for chronic pain, with symptoms that have not improved enough or keep breaking through.
We review your pain condition, symptom pattern, treatment history, medications, safety factors, and overall clinical picture before recommending next steps.
-
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a nerve-related pain condition that can become severe, persistent, and difficult to manage with standard treatment. Vitalitas typically evaluates CRPS after patients have tried conservative treatment, such as medication, physical therapy, nerve blocks, or pain management care, and are still living with pain that affects their quality of life. Care is individualized, often beginning with a series of longer infusions, with dose, timing, and follow-up guided by pain response, tolerance, breakthrough symptoms, and clinical judgment.
-
Neuropathic pain is nerve-related pain that can remain disruptive even after medication, physical therapy, injections, or other conservative treatments. Vitalitas approaches neuropathic pain with a similar protocol as CRPS, with individualized care based on the patient’s condition, age, comorbidities, symptom pattern, and ability to tolerate treatment. Care often begins with a series of longer infusions, with follow-up and maintenance guided by pain response, breakthrough symptoms, tolerance, and clinical judgment.
-
Migraine and chronic headache disorders can be disruptive to daily life. Vitalitas evaluates migraine-related pain based on symptom severity, frequency, prior treatment, and overall clinical context. Care is individualized, often beginning with a shorter initial infusion series than some other pain protocols, with follow-up guided by response, symptom recurrence, tolerance, and clinical judgment.
PATIENT EXPERIENCES
“I had a horrible quality of life… My pain specialist recommended ketamine, and it changed my life. I can pick up my grandkids, cook for them, they can spend the night, we travel. I do all that because of the ketamine. I have a tool in my toolbox that always works.”
— BARRY, CRPS
“When I finally found ketamine, it changed my life. It’s really hard to go day in and day out with that horrific amount of pain… When I have ketamine, I get a break from all that pain. I come out relieved… I come out a new person.”
— MISSY, CRPS
“Vitalitas isn’t just a clinic, it’s a lifeline. I am a retired physician who has chronic pain from CRPS in all four extremities.They have helped me to enjoy life again! My wife, family and friends are happy to have the old me back too!”
— BOB, CRPS
SETTING REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Some people experience significant pain relief. Others still have pain, but at a lower level that makes movement, sleep, daily activities, or quality of life more manageable.
Ketamine therapy is not a guarantee, and follow-up needs vary. We track response over time and help you understand whether treatment is helping enough to continue.

Chronic pain FAQs
-
We commonly evaluate nerve-related pain concerns, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, migraine, and chronic headache pain. Many patients who reach out have already tried medication, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or other pain care without enough relief.
The consultation helps us understand your pain pattern, treatment history, current medications, safety factors, and whether outpatient ketamine therapy may be appropriate.
-
Some patients are referred by a pain physician, neurologist, primary care clinician, or other provider. Others reach out directly.
If care coordination would be helpful, we can talk through that during the consultation. With your permission, we can also communicate with your treating clinician about your treatment course, response, and next steps.
-
No. Ketamine therapy should not be thought of as a cure or a one-time fix. Some people experience significant pain relief. Others still have pain, but at a lower level that makes daily life more manageable.
For chronic pain, follow-up needs vary. Some patients return when symptoms break through again, while others may need more regular maintenance. We track your response over time and help you understand whether treatment is helping enough to continue.
-
We start by reviewing your pain condition, medical history, current medications, prior treatment, safety factors, and overall clinical picture. The goal is to make sure ketamine therapy may be appropriate for your pain pattern and that treatment can be provided safely in an outpatient setting.
If it looks like a reasonable fit, we will talk through the treatment plan, what to expect, and how we will monitor your response. Dosing and treatment length are individualized based on your condition, tolerance, response, and clinical judgment.
-
That is possible. Ketamine can be very helpful for some pain patients, especially with nerve-related pain, but it does not work the same way for everyone.
We track your response during the initial treatment series and talk with you about what is changing, what is not changing, and whether the benefit feels meaningful enough to continue. If treatment is not helping enough, we will be honest about that and discuss appropriate next steps.
