Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute

Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute provides IV ketamine therapy at its Peoria, Arizona location as part of a comprehensive, physician-directed pain management program. Treatments are administered in a controlled clinical setting with continuous monitoring by experienced clinicians.

Ketamine works on NMDA receptors and the glutamatergic system, blocking pathways central to pain transmission and the memory of pain. This can ease conditions such as fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, neuropathic pain, refractory migraines, and chronic back pain that have not responded to standard therapies. Many patients report relief within hours to days, with effects lasting weeks to months.

A typical course runs four to six low-dose infusions over one to two weeks, followed by booster infusions every four to eight weeks when effective. Led by board-certified pain specialist Dr. Ruchir Gupta, the Peoria office also offers interventional procedures including epidural injections, facet joint injections, and nerve blocks.
