About Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

CRPS is a pain management priority. It is essential to get on top of this condition as quickly as possible, after early recognition. CRPS is an abnormal response to trauma, where the trauma can be in some cases relatively mild. More normally the trauma is more severe, such as fracture and is often experience in the hand or foot. Moving rapidly through treatment options, to get on top of this condition quickly is necessary to optimise the chance of recovery.

Because CRPS affects all the functions of a nerve such as sensitivity in the skin and telling joints to move properly a combination of treatments is usually required. These range from simple medication options and interventions (injection techniques) but always combined with good physiotherapy/hand therapy.
