Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) previously known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is characterized by pain that is burning or tingling in nature and is due to damaged nerves. This condition is difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy usually follows fractures, sprains, and surgeries.

 

Our effective course of treatment for this condition is based on individual approach regarding the stage of the disease. Nerve blocks are a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed and have been seen to be beneficial for CRPS/RSD patients.
