Ketamine Infusions
Dr. Bobby Wunnava, MD, MBA started Pain and Wellness Solutions of the Carolinas (PWSC) in South Durham, by the Southpoint Mall, and our ketamine infusion program for depression, pain syndromes, and other psychiatric conditions is up and running. Ketamine is an antagonist of the NMDA receptor and may have effectiveness in treatment of refractory depression, OCD, PTSD, curbing opioid use, and acute and chronic pain syndromes. Dr. Wunnava is board certified in pain management and anesthesiology and oversees the program.
