Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

A uncommon yet crippling disease, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) usually follows an injury, surgery, or trauma. It is defined by intense, scorching pain that could be followed by swelling, changes in skin color, temperature, and sensitivity. The discomfort can radiate to places outside the original injury, causing even the smallest contact to seem agonizing.
Typical CRPS Symptoms
Skin Changes: Skin might get glossy, red, or blotchy; temperature changes could be seen.
Unusual Sensitivity: Extreme touch sensitivity, even minor pressure or clothes, can cause discomfort.
Stiffness, weakness, and atrophy in the affected area can cause trouble moving or utilizing the limb.
What brings on CRPS?
Surgery or Injury: Though the discomfort and inflammation don’t decrease as anticipated, CRPS usually starts following a little accident or operation.
Nerve Damage: CRPS is believed to include nerve dysfunction or hypersensitivity, wherein the body’s pain reaction becomes extreme.
Psychological Elements: Stress, worry, and sadness can all contribute to the aggravation of CRPS symptoms, hence fueling a circle of suffering.
All-Inclusive Diagnostic Method: To get a full picture of your pain, we will first go over your medical history, injury specifics, and symptoms.
MRI and imaging tools: We use MRI or other imaging tools to rule out other diseases and check for changes in the impacted area.
Diagnostic nerve block: A diagnostic nerve block can help verify that CRPS is the source of your discomfort and offer short-term relief.
CRPS Targeted Treatment Choices
Sympathetic Nerve Blocks: Nerve blocks reduce pain by disrupting the transmission of pain signals from the nervous system. A strong anesthetic can reset the aberrant pain pathways in the brain and nervous system, hence providing relief when other therapies have failed.
Nerve stimulation: Spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation can help block the pain signals so that you can function better at home, take less pain medication, and be able to participate with your physical therapy.
MLS Laser Therapy: Using this non-invasive, drug free modality can help with the healing process by reducing pain and improving blood flow to the area affected by the CRPS.
Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy: A tailored rehabilitation plan to restore mobility and flexibility in the injured limb, enabling you to recover function and independence.
