    Suffering from a Neurological disorder can be incredibly isolating, hopeless and frightening and we understand that.
    Our treatment protocols are not meant to directly treat CRPS. What we work to achieve is the rehabilitation of the central nervous system.
    The nervous system is a collective of nerves stemming throughout your body with the brain as the controller.
    Your nervous system controls all of the information that your body transmits to communicate with your brain. In the case of CRPS, your nervous system being damaged, can severely malfunction and send signals in the extreme to simple
    sensory input. IE - the wind blows on your hands and it feels like a terrible burn. By relaxing and rehabilitating the nervous system, as well as correcting any other imbalances within your brain and body, we hope to reset and restore the proper functionality of the systems within your body.
    ** We are currently the only facility in the world offering this treatment, our expertise is constantly being developed.
    Each patient brings new knowledge and a better understanding of conditions that are widely misunderstood.
    It enables us to consistently mold and change our treatment protocol to be the most effective that we possibly can.

    Its actually nice seeing a compassionate Dr. In the pain world, there needs to be more who actually care. My son has CRPS and i also suffer from a spinal cord injury 6 years now of chronic pain its truly exhausting.

    I've had CRPS for over a year now. I tried the SCS trial, and it only made things worse for me. It not only flared up the original CRPS areas (my right hand, arm, and shoulder), but it also caused my CRPS to spread to my entire upper body. It has been MISERABLE.
    I've tried pain meds, pain patches, weed, nerve blocks, PT, OT, and others I can't remember at the time. Currently I'm using the permanent pain pump for the pain and it's the only thing that has actually helped

    Thw Dr. never actually states her therapy...never. How can she criticize intervention when she has not offered any alternate solution. Her fees are over $40K, her patients and family must sign NDA's...there is something extremely suspicious about this Dr.

    For that physician to offer a spinal cord stimulator so early without giving "time" a chance (progressing through the stages of CRPS) is a premature decision.

I was hurt on clock and comp is something else that’s bothering me. I have looked at ketamine infusions and marijuana treatment. I have seizures too that was prior and I’m scared to say no. It’s like they are pushing it and I’m just worried and scared to have it done. Even the trial. It is agonizing but it is like omg why don’t we go another path. What do you do?
