COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a form of chronic pain that usually affects a patient’s extremity (arm or leg). CRPS typically develops after an injury, a surgery, a stroke or a heart attack. The pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury.

We understand the challenges that come with this condition and are committed to improving your quality of life through advanced treatment options and compassionate support.

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)?

Complex regional pain syndrome, also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, is a chronic pain condition that typically affects one limb, such as an arm, leg, hand, or foot. CRPS usually develops after an injury, surgery, or trauma, but in some cases, the cause may not be immediately apparent. The condition is characterized by severe and prolonged pain, changes in skin temperature and color, swelling, and sensitivity to touch.
