Katie Gives Her Testimonial Of Her Journey With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Video Summary
Katie experienced severe limitations due to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), spending most of her time in bed and relying on electric scooters for mobility at grocery stores.
She faced significant discomfort with footwear, wearing only rubber shoes because regular tennis shoes were too painful.
Katie suffered from sharp facial pains, facial drooping, and drooling on one side, along with frequent numbness in her hands.
Following her treatment, Katie’s condition improved markedly; she no longer experiences facial pain or drooping, can wear tennis shoes, and showers without excruciating pain.
She has regained strength and stability, reducing her fear of falling, and is looking forward to confidently holding her new grandbaby due in December.
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. 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. i.e. – 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.
** We are currently the only facility in the world offering this treatment, our expertise is constantly being developed.
Each patient brings new knowledge and a better understanding of conditions that are widely misunderstood. At The Spero Clinic, it enables us to consistently mold and change our treatment protocol to be the most effective that we possibly can.
“I was mostly in bed a lot. If I went to the grocery store I either had to do the clicket list or use the electric scooter. I was almost always wearing these ugly rubber shoes I couldn’t put tennis shoes on. It hurt a lot to shower.”
“I was having sharp pains in my face and my face was starting to droop and I was drooling a little bit on one side my hands are going numb often.”
“So I can shower now without being in excruciating pain. I can wear tennis shoes I threw out the rubber shoes.”
[What is your pain at now?]
