Reclaim Control with Ketamine for CRPS Treatment in San Luis Obispo, CA

Discover How Ketamine May Help Relieve the Pain of CRPS

Targeted Relief for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome at Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy in San Luis Obispo

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is one of the most challenging chronic pain conditions—marked by persistent, severe pain that often seems disproportionate to the original injury. Patients may experience burning, swelling, temperature sensitivity, and changes in skin or hair growth, all of which can disrupt daily life and lead to long-term disability.

At Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy, we understand the complex nature of CRPS and how frustrating traditional treatments can be. Ketamine is emerging as a promising option for interrupting the intense nerve signaling at the root of CRPS pain. With personalized care and a calm, supportive environment, we’re here to help you find relief and reclaim a sense of control over your body.

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades. In recent years, it has shown unique potential for treating chronic pain conditions—particularly those involving nerve damage or central sensitization, like CRPS.

Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors, which are involved in amplifying pain signals. By disrupting this process, ketamine may help reset overactive nerves and provide relief from the unrelenting pain CRPS can cause.

Why Ketamine for CRPS?

CRPS is notoriously difficult to treat. Many patients go through a long list of medications, physical therapies, and even nerve blocks with little relief. Ketamine offers a different approach—targeting the root of neuropathic pain and helping to:

  • Decrease spontaneous pain and allodynia (pain from non-painful stimuli)
  • Improve movement and reduce fear of activity
  • Lower sensitivity to temperature and touch
  • Interrupt chronic pain loops in the brain and spinal cord

Patients who respond to ketamine often describe it as the first meaningful relief they’ve experienced in years.

Who is a Good Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?

You may be a candidate if:

  • You’ve been diagnosed with CRPS by a pain specialist or neurologist
  • You experience severe, persistent pain that limits your quality of life
  • Standard treatments like gabapentin, opioids, or physical therapy haven’t helped
  • You’re seeking a new path forward with a team that understands complex pain

We’ll conduct a full medical intake to determine if ketamine is appropriate, and can coordinate with your current providers to ensure a unified approach to your care.
