Treating RSD
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) is a nerve entrapment that can lead to a wide variety of problems and great discomfort; Image Based Surgery Center gives you the expertise and capabilities to resolve RSD.
RSD causes intense burning pain in the skin, odd temperature and color changes in the limbs, even hair loss and bone fractures.
Often, the problem starts out with a relatively minor injury or entrapment involving a nerve. The pain progresses and then transforms. RSD can affect entire regions of the body and can even spread to the whole body. Most pain medicines have no effect on the pain of RSD.
Today, it has been shown that many RSD patients can be cured through a combination of magnetic resonance neurography (to pinpoint the cause of the RSD) and specialized surgical techniques available at Image Based Surgery Center.
Unbelievably, many physicians today still know very little about reflex sympathetic dystrophy. This results in incorrect diagnoses or worse, telling patients they will have to endure a lifetime of pain because "there is no treatment."
In the past, a variety of techniques were employed to treat the symptoms of RSD: spinal stimulators, ganglion injections, complex drug regimens, hospitalizations, painful physical therapy, and more. All provided varying degrees of relief to sufferers, but did not attach the root cause - the specific nerve entrapments unique to RSD.
Thanks to MR neurography scans from The Neurography Institute (the world's exclusive provider of MR neurographies), patients can have the exact location of their RSD nerve entrapments imaged and pinpointed. This information is then used by the surgeons of Image Based Surgery Center to provide a specific course of action, including MR-guided injections and more involved surgical procedures.
