Treatment

There are many different types of treatments for CRPS. According to America RSDHope:

“…new ones seem to pop up every day and what works for one typically does not work for the majority. This makes treating this disease even more difficult. Most physicians seem to agree that a combination of diet, exercise, physical therapy, and medication hold the key to treating the disease for the majority of patients. Exactly what that combination is and which medications those are remains a sticking point and a point of contention among pain management doctors.”

Treatments include, among others:

  1. Drug therapies
  2. Nerve blocks/spinal taps
  3. Ketamine
  4. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
