Paula's Journey: CRPS Survivor Finds Hope and Healing at the Spero Clinic

Paula, a survivor of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), shares her transformative journey toward healing at The Spero Clinic. CRPS is a chronic pain condition affecting millions, often triggered by an injury or medical event, causing severe pain, muscle spasms, and mobility issues.

CRPS, or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, is a chronic pain condition that affects between 5 and 8 million people around the world. CRPS [https://www.thesperoclinic.com/conditions/complex-regional-pain-syndrome/] is often triggered by an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack, and typically appears in the arm or leg on one side of the body.

While traditional treatment plans offer pain medicine for those suffering from CRPS, these prescription drugs don't target the root of the problem nor do they provide long-lasting relief or remission.

Luckily, there is hope in the darkness of chronic pain conditions like CRPS. Alternative medicine doctors like Dr. Katinka van der Merwe from the Spero Clinic offer patients a holistic approach to healing that has been changing the lives of patients around the world.

Paula's CRPS Symptoms Turned Her World Upside Down

What makes CRPS challenging to diagnose is that its symptoms are unique to the individual. Some experience burning or throbbing pain, joint stiffness, sensitivity to touch, muscle spasms and atrophy, decreased mobility, and many other painful changes.

"CRPS completely turned my life upside down. I was in debilitating pain," said Paula. "I had no quality of life. I felt like I was surviving; I was not living. I did not know if I could continue to live like that."

Upon arriving at The Spero Clinic, Paula underwent daily treatment modalities [https://youtu.be/O82_DPbDU1s?feature=shared] unlike anything she'd experienced before. These include twice-daily Vagus Nerve stimulation [https://www.thesperoclinic.com/services/vagus-nerve-stimulation/] sessions, Magnetic Resonance therapy, and many other modalities designed to balance the central nervous system, restore order to the body's communication channels to the brain, and promote healing from the inside out.

Receiving CRPS Treatment from the Spero Clinic

After being misdiagnosed for months, Paula was introduced to The Spero Clinic and felt compelled to reach out to schedule a consultation. Once she met with Dr. Katinka, Paula knew The Spero Clinic would be the place to heal her debilitating pain.

"I felt like this was truly a special place," said Paula. "I felt the empathy, love, compassion, and determination from the staff and the doctors to get me better. I never walked unassisted until I came here.

"Dr. Katinka and her team of providers strive to treat every patient with the same level of respect, care, and compassion that they would want for their own family members. Not only do patients receive multiple customized treatments each day during their stay, but they also have access to a community of people who are experiencing similar illnesses and facing the same challenges.

"I am reclaiming and fighting for my life every day. I know that I can take my life back here at Spero," Paula said with tears in her eyes.
