Chronic Pain Management: Finding Relief and Improving Quality of Life

Chronic pain is a complex condition that can originate from many sources, such as injury or underlying medical conditions, and persist for many months or years. It can be debilitating, affecting one's physical and mental health, and dramatically impacting their quality of life. At Pacific Pain & Wellness Group, we understand the toll chronic pain can take on a person, and we are here to help.

What is Chronic Pain Management?

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine, a compound used in medicine for over 50 years, was first synthesized in 1962 and approved for use in the United States in 1970. While it is sometimes known for its misuse as an illegal drug, Ketamine is medically used to induce and maintain general anesthesia during surgery. Recently, it has been gaining acceptance for its effectiveness in relieving chronic pain and treatment-resistant depression. Pacific Pain & Wellness has fine-tuned its ketamine protocol since 2013 to yield the most effective and long-lasting results for patients.
