"Ever since I treated my very first patient suffering from CRPS," says Spero Founder and CEO Dr. Katrinka van der Merwe. "I became obsessed with helping people who suffer from this horrible, life-robbing condition."
Often dubbed the "suicide disease," Complex Regional Pain Syndrome [https://www.thesperoclinic.com/conditions/complex-regional-pain-syndrome/] (CRPS) is a form of intense, chronic pain that typically develops after an injury, surgery, a stroke or heart attack. The pain is off the charts, compared to the severity of the initial injury. Considered incurable by the medical community, the only traditional remedy is pain medication which only brings temporary relief.
That was the case with Emily McDonald, a lively, happy teen who, after a routine appendix operation in March 2021, developed CRPS symptoms so severe, she was unable to walk.
Wheelchair-bound and in constant pain, Emily and her parents had given up all hope of recovery, until she entered the doors of The Spero Clinic, renowned for its groundbreaking therapies for neurologic dysfunction disorders, such as CRPS, Fibromyalgia [https://www.thesperoclinic.com/conditions/fibromyalgia/], Long COVID [https://www.thesperoclinic.com/conditions/long-covid/] and others.
Healing From Within
Rather than just treating the symptoms or suppressing the pain with medication, The Spero Clinic addresses the root cause of CRPS and treats the body from the inside out. The clinic's most effective approach is to strengthen the central nervous system from within. This, as evidenced by their results, allows the body to heal itself.

For Emily, this meant stepping onto the road to real healing. Not an easy road by any means, according to her mother, "It was very tough, really hard work, but Em was determined she was going to get better and on the very last day the main therapist came up and said if everyone had her positive attitude and determination to get better, The Spero Clinic would have a 100 percent rate. "
"Em gave it everything, even if she was having a bad day. The clinic was just amazing and it was so good to be surrounded by other people who were going through the same thing."
Holistic Pain Management
Through a regimen of holistic pain management, Emily began seeing results. She learned to control her movements and retrain her brain and nervous system to understand what causes pain and work through it.
Spero's innovative treatments, including cold laser therapy, proved remarkably effective. Moreover, it allowed Emily to set and achieve ambitious weekly targets like taking off a protective boot, wearing socks and shoes again, and finally walking.
After five months at The Spero Clinic, Emily left her wheelchair and crutches behind and was able to greet her friends at a surprise welcome party in her hometown.
Now, with CRPS in complete remission and life-restoring treatment behind her, Emily not only has the freedom to enjoy life but also has started an awareness campaign to spread the word of hope that The Spero Clinic holds.
Says Emily, "Now I just want to live life without limitations, not having to think about what I can do and can't do. If we can get the message out and people just look at the Spero website to see if it might help in their case, if we can get a diagnosis of CRPS for just a couple of people through raising publicity and awareness, we will have achieved so much."
