CRPS is becoming increasingly prevalent in society. It is a painful condition characterized by continued long-term regional pain usually occurring after an injury or surgery. It is characterized by extreme pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and changes to the skin and bones. The treatment of CRPS revolves around physical therapy, medications, and interventional procedures such as sympathetic blocks and neuromodulation with spinal cord stimulation. Early diagnosis is extremely important in CRPS. The sooner the diagnosis the better chance for recovery.
Recognizing the Signs of Regional Nerve Sensitization

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a specialized, progressive form of chronic pain that primarily affects a single limb. It is driven by a malfunction in both the central and peripheral nervous systems following localized physical trauma, creating a continuous loop of distress signals.
Often triggered by prior fractures, sprains, or limb surgeries, which cause the nervous system to misfire and remain trapped in a state of high alert.

We utilize advanced clinical evaluations, including bone scans and sympathetic nervous system tests, to accurately pinpoint and confirm autonomic nerve dysfunction.

Precision-guided, minimally invasive anesthetic injections that specifically target the sympathetic nerve chain to interrupt abnormal pain signals before they reach the brain.

Expert Tip: Because CRPS involves progressive physical changes to the nerves and surrounding tissues, immediate interventional treatment within the first three months of symptom onset can often halt disease progression and dramatically restore long-term functional mobility.
