Ketamine for Pain Management In Fort Lauderdale

Evidence-Based Relief For CRPS, Fibromyalgia, And Nueropathy

F. Perry Wilson, MD:  How ketamine helps treat chronic pain

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine is a proven medical treatment that offers new hope for chronic pain conditions that haven’t responded to traditional approaches.

Originally used as an anesthetic, ketamine works differently than standard pain medications by targeting pain pathways in the nervous system to provide lasting relief.

Administered through carefully monitored IV infusions in our medical clinic, ketamine therapy helps interrupt chronic pain cycles and restore quality of life.

How Does Ketamine for Pain Work?

Ketamine addresses CRPS, neuropathy, and fibromyalgia through a fundamentally different pathway than traditional pain medications. While opioids and NSAIDs only mask symptoms, ketamine acts directly on NMDA receptors—blocking the central sensitization where your nervous system gets “stuck” in chronic pain.

For CRPS, it calms overactive pain responses. For neuropathy, it addresses nerve damage signals. For fibromyalgia, it reduces widespread pain amplification throughout the body.

Ketamine helps your nervous system “unlearn” these maladaptive pain patterns, reducing the hyperexcitability that keeps pain signals firing inappropriately.

The breakthrough: ketamine provides relief lasting weeks or months after treatment, rather than requiring daily medication. Many patients experience significant improvement after a series of infusions, with lasting relief that extends far beyond conventional pain management.

Do Any of These Pain Symptoms Feel Familiar?

Pain dictates your schedule and energy levels

You’ve exhausted every standard treatment path

Movement, sleep, or focus are disrupted daily

You feel like you're becoming your diagnosis

You're tired of managing medications more than progress

You're constantly searching for answers but finding only frustration

Anxiety affects focus, sleep, relationships, and even digestion. It’s not just “in your head.” It’s a nervous system imbalance—and it can be treated.

What Are The Benefits of Ketamine for Pain Treatment?

Ketamine doesn’t just mask pain—it addresses chronic pain at its source by rewiring how your nervous system processes and maintains pain signals.

Unlike opioids or NSAIDs that only provide temporary symptom relief, ketamine modulates NMDA receptors, helping calm overactive pain pathways in your nervous system while enabling the formation of healthier pain processing patterns.

This fundamental shift is what makes the benefits so profound and long-lasting.

IV ketamine has been shown to reduce pain intensity in conditions like CRPS, fibromyalgia, and neuropathy (Niesters et al., 2014).

Common Questions About Ketamine for Pain

Is ketamine a painkiller?
Not in the traditional sense. It retrains the brain’s response to pain instead of masking symptoms.

You may feel a sense of disconnection or stillness—but you’ll be safe, conscious, and medically monitored throughout.

Some patients experience several weeks to months of relief. Boosters are available based on need.

No referral required. We’re also happy to collaborate with your existing care team.

I had an exceptional experience at One Mind Wellness and cannot recommend them highly enough. I was very nervous heading into my first session as I’m working through a lot of grief but from the moment I arrived I felt genuinely supported and cared for. Mike the concierge was incredibly kind and attentive and made sure I felt fully prepared and comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Topfer was extremely hands-on compassionate and thoughtful creating such a safe and reassuring environment. Even after my first session I noticed a sense of relief which has given me so much hope for the journey ahead. The entire team goes above and beyond to make the experience feel supportive professional and truly patient centered and I’m very grateful to have found them.

I had an exceptional experience at One Mind Wellness, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.From the moment you walk in, you feel supported and cared for. Mike, the concierge, is wonderful — incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. He truly makes you feel comfortable and welcomed.Dr. Topfer and Dr. Greca are a top-notch team. Their professionalism, knowledge, and compassion made me feel that I was in the best possible hands. My neuropsychiatrist actually recommended ketamine therapy to me, which is what led me to One Mind Wellness, and I’m so grateful that I followed that advice.I completed six ketamine sessions, and the results have been life-changing. Before treatment, I struggled with rumination — my thoughts often felt stuck in a negative loop that I couldn’t break. Since completing the sessions, that pattern has lifted. I feel calmer, much less reactive, and more at peace mentally.I’ve also noticed improvements in my energy and my ability to focus. It truly feels like my mind has reset in a healthy way.My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner.If you are considering ketamine therapy, you will be in excellent hands at One Mind Wellness.

Dr. Graca and team are really top notch. I run a large healthcare company and know the industry well and these guys really go the extra mile. Ketamine saved me and I was so worried when moving from NYC, but Graca talked to all my other doctors and took great care of me
