Traditionally, the allopathic community has been treating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) pain by prescribing pain medication such as opioids or inserting durable medical devices such as spinal cord stimulators and pain pumps.
However, while this approach may sometimes work, the side effects are frequent and may be devastating to the patient, even life-threatening. It is also not a successful long-term approach. We believe that true pain relief comes with healing by rehabilitating the central nervous system so that the body may heal from within.
This may be obtained through focused neurologic rehabilitation programs such as ours. We always say that medical pain intervention has a ceiling, pain does not.
Some patients make great strides by decreasing inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes, as well as using programs teaching them how to better manage any stress, as stress is the enemy of pain. We also recommend that the patient keeps moving as much as their body will allow. In chronic pain, every inch relinquished to a sedentary lifestyle is usually an inch lost.
