Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Diabetic Neuropathy

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.

You’re not alone if you’ve been diagnosed with CRPS or are suffering ongoing, inexplicable pain following an accident. Capital Interventional Pain & Spine Center provides innovative therapies to restore function and break the cycle of pain.

Typical CRPS Symptoms

Burning, Stinging Pain Extreme, often crippling pain that could seem like a deep burn or electric shock. The affected limb may feel heavier than usual and swell.

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.

Should these symptoms ring a bell, you might be in CRPS; we are here to assist. You need not endure unending agony.

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.

An aberrant inflammatory response sends pain signals, causing more severe and broad suffering.

Psychological Elements: Stress, worry, and sadness can all contribute to the aggravation of CRPS symptoms, hence fueling a circle of suffering.

Although the reason could be multifaceted, our staff at Capital Interventional Pain & Spine Center takes a thorough approach to treat both the physical and psychological components of CRPS.

All-Inclusive Diagnostic Method: To get a full picture of your pain, we will first go over your medical history, injury specifics, and symptoms.

Our physicians do a comprehensive physical examination to evaluate skin changes, mobility, and pain reaction.

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.

Once we have diagnosed CRPS, we create a tailored therapy strategy to properly control and lower your symptoms.

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.

Targeting both the physical and emotional sides of CRPS helps us to break the pain cycle and enable you to take back control of your life.
