Acupuncture for CRPS in Greenville, SC

Did you know? ….

Acupuncture can be successfully used to treat CRPS, or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome because acupuncture is an incredible therapy that helps balance the neuro-endo axis and helps re-create appropriate functioning of the pain receptor cells.

CRPS can be truly debilitating with severe levels of intense pain, but now there is hope, here in Greenville, SC.

According to Mayo clinic,

“Signs and symptoms of CRPS include:

Continuous burning or throbbing pain, usually in the arm, leg, hand or foot
Sensitivity to touch or cold
Swelling of the painful area
Changes in skin temperature — alternating between sweaty and cold
Changes in skin color, ranging from white and blotchy to red or blue
Changes in skin texture, which may become tender, thin or shiny in the affected area
Changes in hair and nail growth
Joint stiffness, swelling and damage
Muscle spasms, tremors and weakness (atrophy)
Decreased ability to move the affected body part”

When using acupuncture for CRPS, we can easily provide relief without needling the area of pain. Most CRPS patients find this a relief to hear. Some patients experience a reduction in pain during the first treatment, for others their may be a delay of a day or two, and others it may take a few weeks before improvements begin. However, there is over an 85% success rate in treating the chronic pain that comes from CRPS.

Our biggest piece of advice is to not wait to get treatment. There is no need to wait until an official diagnosis before seeking help at our clinic for pain symptoms, whether it’s from CRPS or from a known injury, or something else entirely, acupuncture is very good for the management of pain. Many of our patients begin care at our clinic for their pain while they wait for their scheduled doctors appointment for any x-rays or imaging they may need. This way, our patients can experience some pain relief (without side effects) while they wait to see the doctor.

Many people find acupuncture to be a superior option for pain relief and pain management, especially compared to medical interventions like cortisone injections, medications or surgery.

At our clinic, we always begin with a consultation so our medical director, Dr. Laura Parks, can get a complete medical assessment and prognosis for treatment outcomes. Once the consultation concludes, Dr. Laura can outline different treatment options unique to your medical needs and wellness goals.

Begin with a consultation today and get back to living your best life! Call 864-908-9032 to get started.
