Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating nerve-related condition that often develops after an injury, surgery, or accident. This chronic condition causes intense, persistent pain that feels far worse than the original injury. If you’re dealing with burning pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, or sudden changes in skin temperature after an accident, you may be experiencing CRPS and need immediate evaluation.

Our board-certified physicians specialize in CRPS pain management and offer clarity, comfort, and structure during a difficult time. We deliver comprehensive care with no out-of-pocket expense.

Understanding Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Complex regional pain syndrome, also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy, is a chronic pain disorder affecting the nervous system. It typically develops in an arm or leg after a traumatic injury. CRPS occurs when the nervous system sends abnormal pain signals that continue long after the tissue itself has healed. Because these nerve pathways become hypersensitive, patients often experience intense symptoms that disrupt daily life.

Recognizing CRPS Symptoms After an Accident

Many patients develop CRPS after car accidents, falls, or other traumatic injuries. Symptoms usually begin within weeks and can worsen without medical intervention.

Common CRPS symptoms include:

• Severe, burning pain
• Extreme sensitivity to touch or temperature
• Swelling and stiffness
• Skin temperature changes
• Red, blue, or pale skin tone
• Shiny or thinning skin texture
• Reduced mobility
• Abnormal sweating patterns

If these symptoms appear shortly after an accident, getting evaluated by a doctor right away improves the chances of recovery.

How We Diagnose and Treat CRPS

At ImpactMD Accident Care, we begin with a full diagnostic examination to identify the source of your symptoms. Our board-certified physicians conduct detailed physical examinations, advanced imaging, and diagnostic testing to confirm CRPS and build a personalized treatment plan.

We provide the CRPS therapy Oklahoma patients rely on, including:

• Medication management for pain control
• Guided physical therapy to preserve mobility
• Nerve blocks that interrupt pain signal pathways
• Noninvasive, medical-grade pain relief treatments

When your condition requires additional expertise, we coordinate care with trusted orthopedic and neurological specialists. Every treatment plan is designed with early intervention in mind because timely care is essential for preventing long-term complications.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Complex regional pain syndrome requires prompt medical attention. Delaying CRPS treatment can lead to permanent complications, including muscle atrophy, bone loss, and limited mobility.

We’re particularly skilled in managing complex conditions like CRPS that require advanced treatment strategies. At ImpactMD Accident Care, you’ll work with a dedicated patient liaison who coordinates your care and provides weekly follow-ups and on-demand support.
