In this week's episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Karvelas and Dr. Joves discuss complex regional pain syndrome, better known as CRPS. This topic and diagnosis is one that is very poorly understood by the general public, and many within the medical and healthcare communities.

CRPS is essentially nerves not behaving themselves in the peripheral and Central nervous systems, and is one of the models for centralized pain.

CRPS is variable in its clinical presentation, but typically is characterized by severe pain and impaired function out of proportion to the original injury.

Listen as the doctors dive deeper into this topic and give some practical tips for people living with or treating chronic pain.
