The miracles happening at Spero take my breath away. But the way patients are served is off the Richter scale. Every service provider, front office staff, manager, director, therapist, and doctor at Spero helps to create a welcoming sense of belonging, making it a special place.
Spero Clinic is the only one of its kind in the world that treats the central nervous system. Patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain conditions receive treatments that “assist the body in healing itself.” “Ten years ago, Dr. Katinka (not photographed) treated her first patient suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. She has created a world-renowned system and surrounded herself with a highly dedicated and skilled team.”
Spero is an incredible place of healing because, with love, the staff walks alongside patients, helping them fight for recovery and regain physical and mental strength to rebuild their lives. Not only are the treatments healing and restoring the lives of hundreds, but the level of empathy, compassion, and heart delivered to patients adds to their unique experience. Many patient testimonials speak to the sincere love, care, and concern they receive. “There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.” —Mother Teresa
An Easton family fighting to help their son with long COVID-19 has found hope. Dylan Smith, now 14, fell ill with long COVID more than two years ago. His condition spiraled down since, leaving him bedridden with a feeding tube and chronic pain. But his parents, Stacey and Mike Smith, have hope in what has felt like a hopeless time as COVID-19 robbed their son of his once-active life.
Dylan’s parents believe it’s possible for a return to some normalcy if they can get him to a nontraditional medical facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas, called the Spero Clinic. The clinic treats severe pain disorders, such as complex regional pain syndrome, and now, pediatric long COVID. The clinic’s founder and CEO, Dr. Katinka van der Merwe, said they’re seeing great success in treating pediatric long COVID.
“So far, we’ve had a 100% success rate. We’ve had 10 severe long COVID cases, so it’s not a big pool of patients, but I’m very excited about the possibility,” van der Merwe told 11 News.
Word of a unique and successful treatment for pediatric Long COVID could be found at the Spero Clinic in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
“It’s a neurological clinic. They’re treating Long COVID as a neurological disease where they’re healing the body from the inside out and they’re assisting the nervous system, which the nervous system affects every part of your body,” Stacey Smith said. “It’s finally given us hope. It’s finally giving us hope that our child can get his life back.”
The Spero Clinic is the only place in the world offering this kind of treatment – people travel from across the world to get there.
About 5,000 Australians suffer from CRPS but there are limited treatment options available and no known cure.
Only one facility in the world, the Spero Clinic in America, has successfully managed to treat the cause of CRPS through non-invasive therapy, rather than opting for pain management.
It’s approach has been very successful with a high number of patients entering remission.
In September 2023, doctors at The Spero Clinic, an acclaimed treatment centre, confirmed that her CRPS was in remission.
An Australian family’s holiday has turned to a nightmare after their daughter was diagnosed with a rare condition dubbed “the most painful” in human kind.
“Think of the worst pain you ever had being a 10, and then imagine having that pain continuous every day nonstop, like a pure throb, pinch, burning pain, and then triple it,” he said.
They [Declan’s family] explained that he will receive treatment at the centre, which is “the only place in the world that treats Declan’s condition”, for three months.
“It was just when Declan thought there was no hope that we found The Spero Clinic, a holistic medical treatment centre in Arkansas, USA, led by well-known quantum neurology nerve rehabilitation specialist Dr Katinka van der Merwe,” says Mary.
