Welcome to avIVa Infusions
Identify & Treat Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain (NP) presents itself when your nervous system is damaged or isn’t working properly. Many conditions are believed to bring NP about, but there is not yet an obvious cause. If you feel shooting, burning, or stabbing pain, “pins and needles”, or spontaneous pain, you are likely struggling with neuropathic pain.
At avIVa Infusions, we fight neuropathic pain with low-dose ketamine IV infusions. The first step in our process is meeting you for a consultation for neuropathic pain treatment in Green Bay.
This allows us to learn about you and your pain so we can help identify the underlying conditions that may be responsible for NP. From there, we can customize your ketamine treatment plan, as well as recommend other methods for mitigating pain.

What to Expect
The NP Treatment Process
1
Consultation
Before diving into your neuropathic pain treatment in Green Bay, we’ll first conduct a consultation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know you and vice versa! We’ll uncover your concerns, symptoms, and goals and expectations for treatment. You’re encouraged to ask us questions about the treatment and our practice. Once we determine you’re a candidate for treatment, we’ll book your appointment.

Neuropathic Pain Treatment
When you arrive for your ketamine infusion, we’ll show you to one of our infusion rooms and you’ll take a seat in a comfortable recliner. We’ll begin by taking vital signs and placing an IV in your arm or hand. Throughout your infusion, you are welcome to listen to music, white noise, or watch TV while we monitor your vitals.

Next Steps
Once your IV is removed, you can relax in the room until you’re ready to leave. Since the ketamine infusion will make you quite tired, we require you to have a ride home and refrain from driving for the rest of the day. Before you go, we can schedule any follow-up appointments needed!
