Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Treatment Information

Traditional Treatments 

Treatment for CRPS/RSD must be individualized. No one treatment will work for everyone. 

Most treatments and medications were developed to treat other chronic pain conditions, and many treatments that are working may not be covered by your insurance.

Treatment methods are continuously evolving as research and clinical practice provides new evidence and insights. (For example, it was once thought that sympathetic nerve blocks were a diagnostic tool and a curative procedure. This has been disproven over time.)

Current traditional treatments may include: 

• Medications
  • Anticonvulsants (anti-seizure) medications
    • Lyrica, Gabapentin, Neurontin, Pregabalin, Topamax, etc.
  • TCA antidepressants
  • Muscle relaxants
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen
  • Opioids 
  • Ketamine
  • Bisphosphonates
• Ketamine Infusions
• Physical / Occupational therapy
• Aquatic therapy
• Regional blocks / local blocks
• Sympathetic blocks
  • Lumbar sympathetic blocks
  • Stellate ganglion blocks
• Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), Neurostimulation, and DRG stimulators
• Psychotherapy
• Nerve ablation(s)
• Pain Pump
• Calmare Scrambler Therapy
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

The Problem

Most CRPS patients are not getting relief from traditional allopathic treatments.

As a matter of fact – most CRPS patients are getting worse with traditional treatments.

Just treating the symptoms is not working.

CRPS is not a sprain, strain or fracture.  The body will typically heal in 6-8 weeks following a surgery, fracture or injury.  CRPS surpasses the initial injury and healing process - CRPS persists.  Therefore, it must be treated with a different approach.

The Premier Program for CRPS and Chronic Pain.

Holistic Centered Treatment's program is the only program curated by a CRPS survivor - Dr. Traci Patterson.  Our program takes a whole-body approach - working with the biology and physiology of the body. This philosophy assists with systemic neural adaption, balancing the autonomic nervous system, and returning the body to homeostasis. This is how the body can heal. 

How Our Program Works

It’s time to take a new look at CRPS and chronic pain. The days of just treating the symptoms are over.  CRPS and many chronic pain conditions are complex diagnoses that can lead to a pandemic of uncertainty and suffering for millions of people around the globe. 

The challenges range from uncertain diagnostics and testing - to ineffective treatments.   CRPS and chronic pain diagnoses are multi-faceted, systemic diagnoses requiring a multilevel integrative approach.  

Holistic Centered Treatment takes a new look at CRPS and chronic pain and has designed a program to take into account multiple aspects of the diagnosis and co-existing conditions, and addresses these on multiple levels.  Treating the whole person and not just the symptoms - is the key to success.

What makes Holistic Centered Treatment different? 

Despite the fact that CRPS and chronic pain are serious diagnoses, we believe they can be effectively managed and CRPS patients can gain long-term remission.   

Our approach to fighting CRPS and chronic pain is integrative - using the best of cutting-edge science and technology, as well as focusing attention on nutrition, supplementation and holistic treatments. Our team of experts are ready for the challenge in helping you to achieve greater health and healing.  

The Holistic Centered Treatment protocol focuses on the importance of a balanced and foundational approach to treating CRPS, chronic pain and co-existing conditions.  

Not all standard treatments are bad and not all alternative treatments are good. In fact, we believe it is important to incorporate the best of each into an integrative therapy. 

CRPS and Chronic Pain Treatment Program

Holistic Centered Treatment's CRPS | Chronic Pain Intensive is a 2-week outpatient program, approximately 5 hours per day, and it's followed by a 90-day home program.  Our Intensive is the equivalent of 3-4 months at other clinics - all compressed.    

The Holistic Centered Treatment protocol is designed to assist you in getting out of 'fight or flight' (sympathetic overload), breaking the pain loop, managing stress and anxiety, increasing restorative sleep, and giving you the tools and resources to have long-term outcomes.    

Our program takes a whole-body approach.  We are working with the biology and physiology of the body and putting in treatment modalities that assist with systemic neural adaption, balancing the autonomic nervous system, and returning the body to homeostasis while addressing PTSD.  

This is a multi-modality, evidence based, outcome based, non-invasive and drug free protocol that is individualized to meet your specific needs and goals.  We are addressing all aspects of chronic pain – physically, mentally, and emotionally.  All while individualizing the treatment to meet your specific needs and goals.

Our message is simple:  Patients with CRPS and chronic pain do not have to suffer—not in silence and not through cries of agony. Traditional allopathic medicine may not have all the answers, but when we combine evidence-based treatments with the latest science and technology then we can help patients regain function and regain their lives. This happens when we address all aspects of diagnoses and how it affects you – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

We know how easy it can be to lose hope when you are living in agony day after day, and there seems to be no end in sight. We know that many of you spend your days feeling like you aren’t living, but merely surviving. We know how heartbreaking and hard it is, and we commend you for fighting. Regardless of what anyone tells you - we want you to know that it can be conquered. It is possible to thrive again. We want you to know that healing is possible for you, too. Your body was intricately designed to recover and repair - and we are here to help you!

The majority of our patients experience dramatic drops in their pain levels.  If you are experiencing CRPS or chronic nerve pain and are at the point of giving up - please believe us when we say, there is hope and help.  We do truly understand what you're going through.
