In-person infusion care
Ketamine for Chronic Pain in Torrance
Ongoing pain can affect your movement, sleep and everyday plans. If your current care is not meeting your goals, start with a conversation about your options and whether ketamine infusion care may be appropriate for you.
Start with your pain history
Tell us where pain affects your day, which activities have become difficult and what you have already tried. Dr. Ananth's background in pain management and psychiatry brings physical symptoms and mental wellbeing into the conversation.
An evaluation is a chance to discuss your previous treatments, current medications and care goals, including whether another approach may be a better fit.
What ketamine infusion care involves
Ketamine is given by IV infusion in a monitored clinical setting in Torrance. A clinical evaluation is needed before treatment.
Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic. Its use for chronic pain and psychiatric conditions is off-label. It has important risks and is not suitable for everyone. The clinician will discuss eligibility, monitoring and possible effects before any treatment decision.
What happens before treatment
- Discuss your history and questions.
Review your symptoms, previous treatments and medications with a clinician. Discuss possible benefits, risks and alternatives.
- Understand your care plan.
If infusion care is appropriate, the team will explain scheduling, visit preparation and treatment costs before you begin.

Questions before you start
Do I need to decide on treatment before contacting you?
No. You can start by asking questions. A consultation is an opportunity to understand your options, including whether another type of care is a better fit. Reaching out does not commit you to infusions.
What will the private assessment tell me?
The private assessment can help you explore your goals and your next step. It does not provide a diagnosis, determine medical eligibility or confirm an appointment. A clinical evaluation is needed before treatment.
