A treatment diary of an RSD/CRPS patient, being treated at The Spero Clinic formally known as The Neurological Relief Center in Northwest Arkansas by Dr. Katinka van der Merwe. Dr. Katinka uses a non-invasive treatment consisting of normalizing the autonomic nervous system, sensory rehabilitation, detoxification, and frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) to treat the Neurologic symptoms of RSD/CRPS.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and Other Neurological Disorders

Suffering from a neurological disorder can be incredibly isolating, hopeless, and frightening and we understand that. Our treatment protocols are not meant to directly treat CRPS. What we work to achieve is the rehabilitation of the central nervous system. The nervous system is a collective of nerves stemming throughout your body with the brain as the controller.

Symptoms of CRPS

  • Brain fog and memory loss
  • chronic bladder infections
  • CRPs spreading to other areas
  • Decreased immune function
  • GI dysfunction
  • Insomnia
  • Past viral and/or bacterial infections
  • Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrom
  • Burning Pain
  • PTSD

Your nervous system controls all of the information that your body transmits to communicate with your brain. In the case of CRPS, your nervous system being damaged, can severely malfunction and send signals in the extreme to simple sensory input. IE – the wind blows on your hands and it feels like a terrible burn. By relaxing and rehabilitating the nervous system, as well as correcting any other imbalances within your brain and body, we hope to reset and restore the proper functionality of the systems within your body.
