Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in Monroeville
Complex regional pain syndrome is chronic pain that usually affects an arm or a leg. This condition generally develops after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. The pain is generally worse compared to the severity of the initial injury. Since this condition is uncommon, its cause is not clearly understood.
What Can Cause Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Over time, the affected limb may appear cold and pale. Muscle spasms and tightening may also occur. Once these changes arise, the condition can be irreversible. Thus, treatment is most effective when the diagnosis is made early, especially because it gives patients a higher chance of experiencing improvement and sometimes full remission.
Symptoms may change over time and differ from person to person. Pain, swelling, redness, noticeable changes in temperature and hypersensitivity (especially cold and touch) usually appear first. Other symptoms include:
- Joint stiffness, swelling, and damage
- Muscles spasms, weakness, or loss of feeling
- Reduced ability to move the affected body part

What Our Patients Are Saying

I have been to many chiropractors over the years, but Dr Shultz has techniques I have never experienced. I have neuropathy from cancer treatment that causes numbness in my legs and feet. I have extreme weakness that causes falls, and makes climbing stairs difficult. Since I’ve started treatment I have started noticing the feeling coming back in my feet, and my ability to walk has become easier. I still have a long way to go, but I’m confident that this treatment is effective. The staff is also top notch, and makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I have been going to see Dr Schultz at Pittsburgh East Health Center for several months now, and I have received Excellent Care. Everyone Is Friendly and Pleasant . I Would Highly Recommend Pittsburgh East Health Center.
Pittsburgh E. Health Center has helped me through a very difficult time in my life with my back. When I thought nothing could be done they gave me hope. The treatments have been very successful I am very happy with my progress and with how everything has been handled. They are very professional but most of all very caring about the individual and my well-being. I highly recommend them to everyone. They actually make it pleasant to go for therapy
