Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a devastating posttraumatic condition characterized by unrelenting severe pain and disability. It is difficult to treat, as the medical community has had a difficult time understanding the cause. Typically, it is treated with high dose steroids, and, in the worst cases, amputation of the affected limb. We understand that it is inflammatory, and generally happens after a traumatic wound. There is a general consensus that the nerves are involved, and new research is suggesting that there may be an auto-immune component as well.If you or a loved one is suffering from CRPS, please give us a call and let us show you how hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help.
