Pain that results because of inadequate blood supply or absent blood supply is called vascular pain. In most cases this will present as leg and foot pain. The feet hurt as soon as one would start walking. Any exercise requires additional oxygen to the exercising organ as oxygen requirements are increased several fold during the exercise. In a normal person, this additional oxygen is delivered by improved blood flow to the exercising organ. Legs that already have reduced blood supply because of poor circulation cannot keep with the oxygen demand resulting in severe pain that reduces as soon as walking stops. Calf muscles also frequently hurt when there is poor blood supply, a symptom known as claudication.

Many patients end up with hours long vascular surgery with graft placements for chronic vascular pain. At Advanced Interventional Pain Center, we use cutting edge science to provide permanent pain relief without the need for vascular surgery. Note this treatment does not apply to acute thrombosis and blockage requiring emergency surgery. Acute thrombosis is not chronic vascular pain. In chronic vascular pain, there’s no emergency to operate. Call the toll free number above or 727-474-6507 to make appointments. Our e-mail: referrals@inter-pain.com See images below.

Advanced Interventional Pain Center has produced 100% treatment success rates while treating CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), when literature support for its treatment is poor.

CRPS presents as increased sensitivity to pain of an extremity that even ordinary non painful stimulus such as a vibrating tuning fork produces pain symptoms. This property is known as Allodynia. CRPS also presents with feeling of cold and burning sensation at the same time in the affected extremity. CRPS results due to many years of severe pain symptoms or due to an injury that produces intense pain. Pain transmission in CRPS occurs predominantly through sympathetic nervous system through C-fibers. C-fibers have an increased threshold meaning that they need increased pain stimulus to be activated. When severe pain symptoms result for a prolonged time from any pain condition, C-fiber sprouting takes place in sympathetic system amplifying even a simple sensation as pain. An overactive sympathetic system also produces vasoconstriction in that extremity resulting in cold sensitivity. PAIN FROM CRPS REMAINS EVEN IF THE INITIAL PAIN CONDITION THAT PRODUCED IT HAS BEEN CURED. The sympathetic system continues to amplify and transmit pain as before due to the so called ‘pain memory’ created.

How is CRPS treated? Poor long term success has been reported in literature in treating CRPS. Experience in treating CRPS at our pain center resulting in 100% pain relief which is permanent indicates that CRPS treatment elsewhere has not individualized. To treat CRPS one must not only treat the primary pain condition that has caused the CRPS but also the sympathetic C-fiber sprouting. If one or the other component is not treated, CRPS will remain untreated.

Highly Individualized pain treatments at our pain center identifies the pain focus causing the CRPS, treats this pain focus and also treats the sympathetic nervous system responsible for C-fiber transmission resulting in permanent relief of pain symptoms.
