Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a form of chronic pain that usually affects one of the body’s limbs such as an arm, leg, or foot. Most people with CRPS develop symptoms after an injury or surgery; some people who suffer also come down with symptoms following a heart attack or stroke. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is believed to be caused by damage to the peripheral and central nervous systems. It takes advanced treatment procedures to help patients find successful relief of their pain and other symptoms so that they are able to return to an active, healthy lifestyle.
At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, we are staffed with double board certified Interventional Spine physicians, pain specialists, and orthopedic specialists who are experts at treating CRPS. Like the name suggests, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a very complex and painful condition. Symptoms include prolonged and severe pain in the limbs, a burning or tingling sensation in the affected limb, and increased sensitivity in the affected area. Sensitivity can be to cold or hot temperatures, or from the slightest touch of the skin. For some, the pain associated with CRPS is so severe that it becomes debilitating.
