Information About CRPS / RSD CRPS Treatment Center

CRPS / RSD Recovery Program

What is CRPS?

CRPS/RSD is a rare condition, better known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or Reflux Sympathetic Dystrophy. It impacts 5 in 100,000 people for type I and less than 1 in 100,000 for type II. The rarity of the condition leads many people to ignore the symptoms. Attending a CRPS Treatment Center can help people improve their health and deal with the condition.

CRPS/RSD is classified as a rare disorder that causes neuro-inflammatory disorder. The condition occurs when the immune system inaccurately initiates an immune response from trauma. Nerves misfire because the body believes tissue damage is occurring, and pain signals are sent to the brain. Pain is so severe that on pain scales, it’s one of the highest listed.

CRPS Signs & Symptoms

Pain is the main symptom of the condition and normally begins after one of the following:

Immobilization
Musculoskeletal injuries
Nerve injury
Surgery

Pain is persistent, and the pain is debilitating, leading to disability in many sufferers. There are many signs and symptoms associated with CRPS/RSD, including:

Deep:
- Burning
- Aches
- Pains
Increase in skin sensitivity
Moderate-to-severe pain from an activity that shouldn’t cause pain
Heightened sensitivity where the pain increases
Swelling
Abnormal:
- Skin temperature
- Skin color
- Nail or hair growth
Loss or limited range of motion
Weakness in a certain area

While this condition can occur at any age to any sex, it’s more common in women than men, according to one study. In recent years, a higher number of children have started to suffer from the condition, although researchers are not sure why.

CRPS Diagnosis

Physicians often have a difficult time making a diagnosis for CRPS. There are not many diagnostic tools available for diagnosis, but most diagnostic testing involves ruling out conditions. That’s why a CRPS treatment center is a better option for some people.

Your doctor will want to be sure that you’re not suffering from another condition or dysfunction that’s causing your pain.

Diagnosis will include:

Gathering a complete patient history
Laboratory tests to rule of certain conditions
Full examination

You may have to undergo a bone scan, x-rays, MRI and sweat production tests to diagnose your condition.

A diagnosis is important because it allows for rapid treatment.

CRPS Treatment Options

A CRPS treatment center will be best suited for helping treat your pain. Traditionally, the earlier that you seek treatment, the better. The main issue with treating the condition early is that diagnosing the condition can be very difficult.

The goal of all treatment options is to help a person live a long, fulfilled life without extensive pain.

CRPS Treatment can be complex, with numerous medications prescribed to help control symptoms. A few of the many treatment options that may be recommended by your physician include:

Over-the-counter pain relievers may be recommended, or a prescription may be written to combat high levels of pain.
Corticosteroids may be given if you’re suffering from loss of range of motion or inflammation.
Antidepressants have shown promise in helping treat pain from damaged nerves.
Nerve-blocking medication may provide relief by blocking the response from pain fibers.

Physical and occupational therapy, heat therapy, topicals and other forms of treatment may be recommended.

However, there are some individuals with CRPS that do not respond well to treatment. A small number of these individuals will often commit suicide because their pain is so severe.

What Is RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)

RSD or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy is not well understood in cause or treatment. The Bridge CRPS Treatment Center has had varying success at our RSD Retreat with this debilitating condition. We use nutrition, acupuncture, traditional and non-traditional therapies to promote healing. We have taken several patients with severe RSD that have recovered completely and we have taken one other patient that achieved marked improvement but still suffers from flare ups from time to time.

Others may not be able to tell you where has come from or when it will go away, but like all syndromes your body understands details that others do not. Our work will include deeply involving mind body techniques to utilize your own internal resources to provide understanding and healing. If you suffer from this condition please call us and let us talk you through our treatment program and what you can expect. We would love to help!
