The Family Pain & Wellness

The Family Pain & Wellness at its Park Avenue suite in New York, New York offers physician-led IV ketamine infusion therapy for both chronic pain and treatment-resistant mood disorders, with every infusion supervised by a board-certified anesthesiologist from candidacy assessment through dosing and monitoring. The practice treats both arenas, which matters when pain and mood symptoms overlap.

Pain indications include CRPS, fibromyalgia, refractory neuropathic pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, phantom limb pain, and chronic migraine. Mental health indications include treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation, PTSD, severe anxiety, OCD, bipolar depression, and postpartum depression. Pain protocols use higher doses over 2 to 4 hours, while mental health dosing runs 40 to 60 minutes.

Led by Dr. Joseph James, DO, this established interventional pain practice positions ketamine as an adjunct, coordinating directly with each patient's psychiatrist, therapist, or referring pain specialist and returning patients to their care team. A typical course is 6 infusions over 2 to 3 weeks, with maintenance boosters only when clinically indicated.
