What Is CRPS?
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition typically triggered by injury, surgery, or nerve damage. Pain is often disproportionate to the original injury and can persist long after tissues appear healed. Symptoms may include burning or throbbing pain, sensitivity to touch, swelling, changes in skin temperature, and decreased mobility. Living with CRPS can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.
How CRPS Affects the Body and Mind
CRPS doesn’t just affect the physical body—it can also lead to depression, anxiety, irritability, and social withdrawal. Prolonged pain can interfere with your daily function and significantly reduce your quality of life. At Southern Ketamine & Wellness, we take a whole-person approach to pain—addressing both the symptoms and the emotional toll. We believe that understanding your unique experience is essential for effective treatment.
Why Choose Ketamine for CRPS Relief?
Ketamine has been shown to relieve CRPS symptoms rapidly, sometimes within hours or days. It may be especially effective for people who haven’t responded to conventional treatments like medications or physical therapy. In addition to relieving pain, ketamine can help reduce associated depression and anxiety by promoting emotional clarity and calm. Studies suggest that up to 75% of patients report improvement after even a single infusion, making it a compelling option for those seeking relief.
How Ketamine Infusions Work
CRPS is thought to involve overstimulation of the NMDA receptors in your brain and nervous system. Ketamine blocks these receptors, quieting overactive pain signals and giving your system a chance to reset. It also increases glutamate and BDNF levels, which support neuroplasticity and rebuild critical nerve connections. This dual effect on pain perception and neural function makes ketamine an ideal option for CRPS and other chronic pain conditions.
What to Expect from Treatment
You’ll begin with a free consultation to review your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals with our compassionate team. Infusions take place in a calming setting under the supervision of Dr. Harrison Irons and our trained medical staff. Each session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes, with ongoing monitoring for safety and comfort. Many patients feel improvement after just one or two sessions, though a series of treatments is often recommended for lasting relief.
At Southern Ketamine & Wellness, our mission is to help you reclaim the fullness of life through innovative therapies and compassionate care. We offer CRPS relief in a relaxing, supportive environment where healing begins with understanding your unique experience. Whether you’re in Birmingham or Opelika, you can expect high-quality care rooted in collaboration and respect for your journey.
