Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that typically develops after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. The pain is usually disproportionate to the severity of the initial injury and most commonly affects an arm or leg. CRPS is believed to be caused by dysfunction of the peripheral and central nervous systems. The condition is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain, changes in skin color and temperature, swelling, and sensitivity in the affected area. Without treatment, CRPS can spread and become increasingly debilitating. At Spinal Interventions, we understand the complexity of CRPS and offer a range of treatments including sympathetic nerve blocks, medication management, and other interventional procedures designed to interrupt the pain signals and improve function.
