What You Need to Know About CRPS

When CRPS is identified and treated in its early stages, patients at Modern Pain Management Clinic benefit from a higher likelihood of pain reduction, improved mobility, and prevention of long-term complications such as muscle wasting, joint stiffness, and skin changes. Our multidisciplinary approach typically includes advanced pain management strategies and, when appropriate, medications such as corticosteroids or neuropathic pain agents. These combined therapies are designed to decrease pain, maintain function, and disrupt the abnormal pain signaling characteristic of CRPS.

We emphasize prompt evaluation and diagnosis. Delayed treatment can lead to worsening symptoms and make CRPS more resistant to therapy. That’s why we encourage anyone experiencing persistent pain after injury or surgery to seek evaluation without delay.

If you or a loved one is suffering from unexplained pain and suspects CRPS, our expert team is here to provide a comprehensive assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan. Early intervention offers the best opportunity for symptom improvement and long-term recovery.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a challenging and often misunderstood condition that can affect anyone. However, certain groups are at higher risk.

Our team frequently sees CRPS following trauma or injury—such as fractures, sprains, or surgeries—particularly when these affect the arms, legs, hands, or feet. Patients with a personal or family history of chronic pain conditions, nerve injuries, or inflammatory diseases may also be more susceptible. While CRPS most often develops after a physical injury, it can, in rare cases, occur without a clear trigger.

At Modern Pain Management Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating CRPS, with a focus on early intervention and comprehensive care.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is characterized by severe, persistent pain that is out of proportion to the initial event. Other common symptoms include swelling, changes in skin color and temperature, and heightened sensitivity to touch. These symptoms can last for months or even years, making daily activities challenging and affecting overall quality of life.

Our team at Modern Pain Management Clinic is experienced in diagnosing and treating CRPS. We understand that early intervention is crucial for improving symptom control and long-term outcomes.

Managing CRPS as a chronic pain condition requires expertise, compassion, and a multidisciplinary approach. We are dedicated to helping our patients regain function, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life through the latest evidence-based treatments and ongoing support.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) can affect your daily life and mobility. It often causes persistent, severe pain in a limb, along with swelling, changes in skin temperature and color, and heightened sensitivity to touch. These symptoms can make everyday activities—such as walking, dressing, cooking, and personal hygiene—challenging and, at times, overwhelming.

Our specialized team recognizes that CRPS can lead to stiffness, reduced range of motion, and difficulty performing tasks that require fine motor skills or strength. Swelling and joint changes may further restrict movement, and over time, limited use of the affected limb can result in muscle weakness and atrophy. We also acknowledge that chronic pain may disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue.

At Modern Pain Management Clinic, we are committed to helping you regain your mobility and independence. Our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach includes:

• Individualized Pain Management Plans: Utilizing the latest evidence-based therapies, including medications, nerve blocks, and advanced interventional procedures to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Physical and Occupational Therapy: Working closely with experienced therapists to maintain or restore function, improve range of motion, and prevent muscle atrophy.
• Assistive Device Assessment: Helping you find the right tools—such as canes, walkers, or orthotics—to increase your mobility and confidence.
• Patient Education: Empowering you with knowledge and self-management techniques to handle flare-ups and improve your quality of life.

We understand the unpredictable nature of CRPS and the impact it can have on your ability to plan activities, work, and participate in social events. At Modern Pain Management Clinic, we are dedicated to partnering with you on your journey to better pain control, improved mobility, and restored quality of life.For more information, please contact us or book an appointment online.
