    Hope and Healing for Intractable Chronic Pain - Interview

    On today’s Healing Hub Podcase, we're sharing the audio from a live interview on Monday, November 4th – CRPS Awareness Day - with Cindy Perlin – CEO of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory. This was an open forum interview and Q&A where we started off talking about my personal journey with CRPS, our treatment program at Holistic Centered Treatment, and transitioned into questions and answers. Dr. Traci Patterson traveled the world and spent in excess of $250,000 searching for help for her Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Many of the treatments made her worse. Now 11 years in remission, Dr. Patterson, a trained MD, is President of Holistic Centered Treatment, an intensive outpatient clinic for people with CRPS and other types of difficult-to-treat chronic pain. Dr. Patterson is telling her story and talk about her treatment program that is helping many CRPS and chronic pain patients regain their lives. This was an open forum interview and Q&A with Dr. Traci Patterson - CRPS Survivor and President, Holistic Centered Treatment and Cindy Perlin, LCSW, founder and CEO of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory. #FacebookLive #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticCenteredTreatment #crpsremission #crpstreatment #CRPSsurvivor #crps #crpswarrior #makingadifference #changinglives #premiereprogramforcrps #alternativepaintreatmentdirectory #cindyperlin #KnowYourOptions #inspiringcrpsstories #crpsawareness #CRPSAdvocate #raredisease #intractablepain #chronicpain #RSD #spoonies #fibromyalgia #amps #PediatricPain #CRPSawarnessday #chronicpain #pediatricpain #CSS #AMPS #PhantomLimbPain #HCTFoundation

  2. Understanding the Invisible Struggles of CRPS

    10/24/2024

    Understanding the Invisible Struggles of CRPS

    Understanding the Invisible Struggles – whether it’s CRPS, chronic pain or even PTSD. When dealing with CRPS, chronic pain, anxiety or PTSD – we can feel overwhelmed, and we feel misunderstood. We get really good at putting up the façade… We’re good at saying we’re OK. The reality is - we feel judged, and we feel like we have to defend how we feel or what’s going on. This is why it’s so important for more people to understand the invisible struggles that patients face. This has to be done to bring awareness, advocacy and appropriate treatment options. The bottom line is - knowledge is power. Chronic pain, CRPS, anxiety and/or PTSD are all multifaceted, often invisible experience that affects millions of people worldwide. While pain is a universal human experience, chronic pain sets itself apart by its persistence, often lasting for months or even years. For some diagnosis like CRPS – it’s ongoing. Living with chronic pain can take a significant toll on an individual’s physical health, but what is less frequently acknowledged is the profound impact it has on mental health and overall well-being. At Holistic Centered Treatment, we recognize the importance of understanding the physical, mental and even the emotional dimensions of chronic pain. It affects every aspect of a person’s life. #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HealingHubPodcast #DrTraciPattersonCRPSExpert #CRPS #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CRPSremission #CRPSawareness #CRPSadovcacy #RSD #Fibromyalgia #AMPS #CSS #CentralSensitizationSyndrome #CRPSTreatment #ChronicPain #Anxiety #PTSD #Trauma #UnderstandingInvisibleStruggle #InvisibleStrugglesWithCRPS #InvisiblePain #PediatricPain #PremiereProgramForCRPS #PremierProgramForChronicPain #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #HopeForCRPS #NewTreatmentForCRPS #CRPScommunity #InternationalCRPS #HopeForACure #TrustPatients #CRPScoexitingconditions #FightingForAllWarriors #CRPSinChildren #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #IndividualizedTreatmentForCRPS #TreatingTheWholePerson #KnowYourOptions

  3. The Connection Between CRPS and Cortisol

    03/15/2024

    The Connection Between CRPS and Cortisol

    What is the connection between CRPS and Cortisol, and a lot of the odd ball symptoms we endure with CRPS? Now, anyone living with CRPS or chronic pain knows the pain creates stress… which leads to anxiety, for some – depression, and for most it leads to insomnia too. Stress and pain are interweaved at multiple levels. This impact - in turn - manifests in other ways in the body. One of the big things I talk to CRPS and chronic pain patients about in the office is the connection between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and the autonomic nervous system and how CRPS/chronic pain is propelled by both. The brain is the best super-computer on the planet that is tasked with running our entire body. A specific area of the brain – the limbic system – is tied to CRPS. While your autonomic nervous system is a division of the nervous system that operates internal organs, smooth muscle and glands. Think of it this way – the autonomic nervous system automatically runs everything in our body that we don’t have to think about. It’s that simple. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously – meaning we don’t have to think about it… and it regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, etc.… Again, the things we don’t think about – that automatically happen in the body… that’s your autonomic nervous system. This system is also the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response. And ‘fight or flight’ is a term we also hear about or read about CRPS. Lastly - fight or flight in turn drives cortisol. So, hopefully you can start mapping this out and start seeing the connections. #Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSsuccessstory #overcomingCRPS #CRPSmiracles #Hope #Help #Spoonies #AMPS #KnowYourTreatmentOptions #RareDisease #ChronicPain #AMPS #CSS #IntractablePain #HopeForCRPS #ImpactOfCRPS #PediatricPain #NewTreatmentForCRPS #CRPScommunity #InternationalCRPS #HopeForACure #TrustPatients #ImpactOfWordsOnPatients #CRPScoexitingconditions #FightingForAllWarriors #CRPSinChildren #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #IndividualizedTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSandCortisol

  4. The Impact of CRPS in Children

    09/15/2023

    The Impact of CRPS in Children

    On today's episode I'm talking about - The Impact of CRPS in Children. CRPS in children and adolescents has a profound impact on the child and the whole family system. The unknowns, the questions, the frustrations - they are real.Questions - going to doctors - trying to get the help that you so desperately need - and some families finding themselves dangerously close to being accused of child abuse or even Munch-hausen by proxy. This makes it very difficult for everyone involved - the child - the parents - the whole family unit.Getting a diagnosis is key. But then finding viable treatment options are even more important. Children are told they just have to push through the pain. They are told this is the best it’s going to get.How is this a true solution?Our children need hope… they need help. They don’t need to be told this is their new life. They don’t need to be told to suck it up butter cup. Instead, they need to have a viable treatment option that will truly help to drop their pain levels. They need a treatment or program that will promote healing. They need a program that will be individualized to meet their specific needs. One that will give the tools and resources for long-term outcomes.At Holistic Centered Treatment – we do provide a caring, compassionate environment that promotes healing. We truly do understand CRPS. www.HolisticCenteredTreatment.com844-994-0999#Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSsuccessstory #overcomingCRPS #CRPSmiracles #Hope #Help #Spoonies #AMPS #KnowYourTreatmentOptions #RareDisease #ChronicPain #CSS #IntractablePain #HopeForCRPS #ImpactOfCRPS #PediatricPain #NewTreatmentForCRPS #CRPScommunity #InternationalCRPS #HopeForACure #TrustPatients #CRPScoexitingconditions #FightingForAllWarriors #CRPSinChildren #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #IndividualizedTreatmentForCRPS #ImpactOfCRPSInChildren

  6. CRPS: The Impact & What Is Remission

    02/07/2023

    CRPS: The Impact & What Is Remission

    On today’s podcast I’ll be talking about living with CRPS – the impact of what we what we hear and what we endure, and what is remission. If you live with CRPS or any rare disease, you’ve probably had at least one conversation with a health care provider in which they look you straight in the eye and say, “There’s nothing I can do for you.” Or you have gone through a program or treatment that portrays themselves as – The only hope… The only way forward – their marketing is truly magnificent – even down to dramatic videos on social media portraying that all of their patients are getting better…. to arrive, start the program, feeling like your concerns fall on deaf ears, or worse yet being told it’s your fault you’re not getting better. And the biggest question that I’m always asked is…. What Is REMISSION? These are the areas I want to discuss or delve into on today's podcast. 844-994-0999 www.HolisticCenteredTreatment.com Info@HolisticCenteredTreatment.com #Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSsuccessstory #overcomingCRPS #CRPSmiracles #Hope #Help #Spoonies #AMPS #KnowYourTreatmentOptions #RareDisease #ChronicPain #AMPS #CSS #IntractablePain #HopeForCRPS #ImpactOfCRPS #PediatricPain #NewTreatmentForCRPS #CRPScommunity #InternationalCRPS #HopeForACure #TrustPatients #ImpactOfWordsOnPatients #CRPScoexitingconditions #FightingForAllWarriors #CRPSinChildren #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #IndividualizedTreatmentForCRPS

  7. CRPS Awareness Month

    11/02/2022

    CRPS Awareness Month

    On today’s podcast I’ll be talking about CRPS Awareness month. Throughout the entire month of November every year for the past 20 years, the CRPS community and their families and advocates come together to help raise awareness of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. We know the month of November as - CRPS Awareness month… For me – CRPS is personal. 16 years ago, I was diagnosed with CRPS type 2… I lived with type 2 CRPS for 7 years prior to gaining remission. This November 2022 is my 9-year anniversary of long-term remission. Yes, pain free – with zero flare for 9 years. It is possible. This is why CRPS awareness month is so important to me! I hope today’s podcast offers you information that is helpful. Remember: Together we can make a difference.

  8. CRPS and Brain Fog

    06/23/2022

    CRPS and Brain Fog

    On today’s podcast I’ll be talking about brain fog that most CRPS patients contend with. If you're dealing with brain fog, I want you to know - you're not alone. Having a CRPS diagnosis or chronic pain diagnosis can lead brain fog. If you are like many others experiencing CRPS, you might also have various signs of something called brain fog. When someone experiences brain fog, it is more commonly known as cognitive dysfunction. However, if you are going through this, you are not the only one. In brain fog, a person can show the signs of numerous physical symptoms along with experiencing CRPS and cognitive issues. Along with it, many people can experience difficulty processing information, trouble focusing, and short-term memory loss. All of these are referred to as brain fog. I hope today’s podcast offers you information that is helpful. Remember: Together we can make a difference.
