See Spine Specialist: I would recommend seeing a true spine specialist to make sure all avenues of care have not been addressed already. Its not that the ketamine infusion is wrong to do, its that it is not first line, second line or even third line option. It is usually the last resort if all treatments/surgeries have failed.
