HealingMaps Take: Nova is a pain-management practice first — its IV ketamine program targets chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, migraines, and CRPS, with depression and PTSD addressed secondarily. For north-metro patients whose primary issue is chronic pain, that anesthesiology-informed, physician-run approach is exactly the right setting. Patients seeking ketamine mainly for depression or a therapy-integrated experience will be better served by a mental-health-focused clinic.
Market Position: Nova occupies the interventional-pain IV-ketamine slot in the north-metro market — chronic-pain-focused infusions from a multi-office pain practice. The pain-medicine specialization and three-location footprint (Alpharetta, Canton, Lawrenceville) are the differentiators; it is distinct from the area’s psychiatric ketamine clinics.
Is Nova Spine & Pain Care Right for You?
✓ Choose Nova Spine & Pain Care if:
- Your primary concern is chronic pain — fibromyalgia, neuropathy, migraines, or CRPS
- You want IV ketamine delivered by an interventional pain practice
- You’re in Alpharetta, Canton, Lawrenceville, or the north/northeast metro
- You want physician-supervised infusions with medical monitoring
- You’d consider ketamine for pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You’re seeking ketamine primarily for depression, anxiety, or PTSD — a psychiatric clinic is a better fit

- You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) or an embedded therapist

About Nova Spine & Pain Care
Nova Spine and Pain Care is an interventional pain-management practice offering IV ketamine from three Atlanta-area offices — 3905 Brookside Parkway, Suite 203 in Alpharetta (30022), 145 Riverstone Terrace, Suite 101 in Canton (30114), and 600 Professional Drive, Suite 170 in Lawrenceville (30046). Care is led by Chitra Ramasubbu, MD, with Jessica Membrillo, ACNP.
The practice specializes in IV ketamine infusion therapy for chronic pain, and does not offer Spravato, IM, oral, or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Its ketamine program centers on conditions such as fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, migraines, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), with IV ketamine also used for depression and PTSD in appropriate cases.
As a pain-medicine practice, Nova approaches ketamine from an interventional, physician-supervised model with medical monitoring throughout each infusion — distinct from the psychiatric and therapy-forward ketamine clinics elsewhere in the metro. Patients whose primary need is mental-health treatment may find a psychiatric clinic a better match.
