CPRS and EDS | Pradeep Chopra, M.D.

In this presentation, Dr. Pradeep Chopra, a pain management specialist, discusses the complexities of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). He highlights the challenges of diagnosing and managing these conditions, emphasizing that EDS involves softer connective tissue, leading to symptoms like joint hypermobility, while CRPS is characterized by severe chronic pain often triggered by trauma and can lead to central sensitization if untreated. Dr. Chopra explains that traditional treatments are often insufficient and explores how nonpharmacological approaches, such as Feldenkrais, may benefit patients by enhancing proprioception and improving functional abilities. He stresses the importance of individualized care and the need for greater awareness and understanding among clinicians to facilitate accurate diagnosis and effective management of these conditions.
