CRPS / RSD Remission Protocol
Silence the Alarm. Reset the System.
It isn't just a tissue injury; it is a neurological storm. We use advanced biophysics to help you weather it.
A MESSAGE TO THE PATIENT: WE UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY
We know that "Pain" is not a strong enough word for what you are experiencing. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as RSD, is widely recognized as the most painful condition known to medicine—ranking 42 out of 50 on the McGill Pain Scale, higher than childbirth or amputation.
Unlike some conditions that are difficult to pin down, CRPS has clear, distinct clinical signs (The Budapest Criteria). You are likely dealing with profound swelling, color changes, temperature asymmetry, and a sensitivity to touch that makes wearing socks or bedsheets unbearable.
We also know the stakes. We understand that this condition is often called "The Suicide Disease" because of the mental toll it takes. We understand the fear of atrophy, contracture, and the risk of eventual amputation if the limb becomes non-functional.
HyperCharge Health exists to offer a new path. We do not claim to "cure" this complex neurological disease alone. Instead, we offer a scientifically grounded, multimodal approach designed to lower the volume of the sympathetic nervous system. We work to restore circulation, reduce central sensitization, and give you your life back—safely and compassionately.
THE "FULL SPECTRUM" CARE MODEL (COLLABORATION)
CRPS usually is too complex for a single doctor to treat. It requires a village.
We are not an island. We function as the "Rehabilitative Engineering" arm of your care team, working in lockstep with your Interventional Pain Management specialist.
The Role of Interventional Care: For many patients, "Physics" (Laser/Neuro20) works best when paired with "Intervention."
Sympathetic Blocks: We often coordinate care around Stellate Ganglion or Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks performed by your pain physician.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA): If you have severe contractures (frozen joints), you may require MUA.
Our Partner: We work closely with Dr. Louis Saeger, a premier Interventional Pain Specialist, for patients who require high-level blocks, catheters, or medication management to facilitate their therapy at HyperCharge.
The HyperCharge Role: Once the block has "opened the window" of pain relief, WE step in to keep that window open. We use that pain-free time to re-educate the nerves and muscles using biophysics, preventing the window from slamming shut again.
THE SCIENCE OF HOPE: THE MECHANISM
To treat CRPS, you must stop treating the limb and start treating the loop.
The "Broken Alarm" (Central Sensitization)
The original injury healed long ago, but the nerves (C-Fibers) are still screaming "DANGER" to the brain.
The Loop: The brain responds by constricting blood vessels (turning the limb cold/blue) and triggering inflammation. This causes more pain, which causes more signaling.
Our Goal: We target the Central Nervous System. Our goal is to overwrite the "Danger" signal with a "Safe" signal, reducing the sympathetic firing rate.
THE PHYSICS PROTOCOL: JAMMING THE SIGNAL
We use "Mass Sensory Flooding" to drown out the pain signal.
A. THE JAMMER: THE NEURO20 SYSTEM
Whole-Body Gate Control Therapy. The most effective way to stop pain is to flood the spinal cord with "non-painful" data.
The Mechanism: We dress you in the Neuro20 suit, which stimulates 42 muscle groups simultaneously. This sends a massive wave of "safe" touch data to the spinal cord.
The Result: Because "safe" signals travel faster than "pain" signals, this wave beats the CRPS signal to the brain, effectively closing the gate.
Safety Note: This is non-painful. It feels like a rhythmic, grounding squeeze. It lowers anxiety rather than spiking it.
B. THE FILTER: GREEN LIGHT THERAPY
Visual Neuromodulation. You will spend time in our specific Green Light environment.
The Mechanism: Specific wavelengths of green light travel from the retina to the Thalamus (the brain's switchboard). Research suggests this frequency downregulates the brain's pain processing centers.
C. THE BRAIN LASER: TRANSCRANIAL PBM
Targeting the Source. We use Near-Infrared light to target the brain's cortex.
Neuro-Inflammation: CRPS is linked to glial cell activation (inflammation) in the brain. Laser energy helps calm these cells.
Cortical Remapping: By combining Laser with movement, we encourage the brain to "re-map" the limb as healthy rather than dangerous.

THE BIOCHEMICAL PROTOCOL: SIGNALING REPAIR
We treat the nerves with molecules as well as machines. This full-stack approach addresses the chemical inflammation driving the pain.
-
IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLOSURE: Peptides are prescribed off-label. They are not FDA-approved for the treatment of CRPS. Their use is based on global research and clinical experience, utilized here as part of a comprehensive, informed-consent protocol.
We utilize targeted peptides to send specific "Repair" and "Anti-Inflammatory" signals to the nervous system:
BPC-157: A systemic peptide often used to support the healing of connective tissue and reduce gut-brain axis inflammation.
Thymosin Beta-4: A peptide known for its potential role in tissue repair and modulation of inflammation.
Cerebrolysin / Cortexin: Neuropeptides utilized globally to support neuroprotection and neuroplasticity.
-
You cannot repair a nervous system without the raw materials.
Creatine Monohydrate: The primary fuel source for the nervous system. It recycles ATP, giving nerves the immediate energy needed to maintain stability.
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): A precursor to Glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. It helps scrub the oxidative stress produced by the chronic inflammatory cycle of CRPS.
Vitamin D (Optimized Levels): A neuro-steroid essential for nerve health. We target optimal therapeutic levels, not just "normal" ranges.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (High Dose): The structural building blocks of cell membranes and myelin sheaths, essential for dampening systemic inflammation.
THE MENTAL HEALTH PROTOCOL: TREATING THE TOLL
Depression and anxiety are almost universal in CRPS patients. This is physiological, not psychological.
ExoMind TMS: For patients struggling with severe depression or PTSD from the injury, we utilize FDA-Cleared Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
The Mechanism: It uses magnetic pulses to wake up the mood-regulating centers of the brain.
The Benefit: It offers relief from the crushing weight of depression without adding more medication to your system.
MEDICAL REALITY CHECK: SAFETY & EXPECTATIONS
CRPS is complex and stubborn. We are transparent about our approach.
What We Aim To Do:
Remission: Our goal is to drive the condition into remission (long periods of low/no pain).
Restoration: Improve range of motion and reduce sensitivity (Allodynia).
Stability: Help you avoid the need for amputation or escalation to high-dose opioids.
What We Cannot Do:
We do not use the word "Cure." CRPS is a chronic condition that requires maintenance.
We cannot treat patients with Active Spinal Cord Stimulators (SCS) with the Neuro20 suit unless the device can be turned OFF and cleared by your pain physician. (However, Laser/Green Light/TMS are safe).
We Do Not Manage Opioids: We are a non-opioid clinic. We will coordinate with your Pain Management doctor, but we do not prescribe narcotics or manage pump refills.
The Alarm Can Be Silenced.
You do not have to fight this alone, and you do not have to rely solely on medication. There is a middle ground between "suffering" and "sedation." It is called Engineering.
HyperCharge is Hope. It is the hope that comes from knowing there are scientifically validated tools—from Lasers to Neuro20—that can reach the root of the signal.
Come to the Lab. Let us audit your nervous system, coordinate with your pain specialist, and build a protocol to reset the computer.
