Algodystrophy
Algodystrophy is a complex neurological condition, also known as regional pain syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The disease affects one or more limbs and is characterised by severe, chronic pain accompanied by autonomic dysfunctions such as changes in skin colour, swelling, and sweating.
Although the exact cause of algodystrophy is not fully understood, it usually occurs after injury or surgery, but it can also develop without an obvious triggering factor.
We successfully treat algodystrophy as part of the MEDICOFIT specialist physiotherapy for pain.
Neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain is nerve pain that can happen if your nervous system malfunctions or gets damaged. You can feel pain from any of the various levels of your nervous system, including peripheral nerves, spinal cord, or brain. Peripheral nerves are those that spread throughout the rest of the body – to organs, arms, legs, fingers and toes, and are the most common site of neuropathic pain.
Damaged nerve fibres send the wrong signals to pain centres in the brain, resulting in neuropathic pain. Nerve perception or information transmission may be changed at the site of nerve damage and in areas in the central nervous system (central sensitisation).
