Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic, debilitating condition that affects the sympathetic nervous system and causes severe pain, swelling, and changes in skin texture or color. It often begins after a sports injury, fracture, or surgery.
Young athletes experience higher trauma frequency, especially sprains, fractures, and repetitive stress injuries. These injuries can trigger abnormal nerve responses, leading to CRPS. The following factors increase vulnerability:
There are two main types of CRPS:
Symptoms like persistent pain, burning, or hypersensitivity can resemble common recovery signs. Many providers misattribute the pain to incomplete healing or psychological causes, delaying proper treatment.
Next, we'll introduce a non-invasive solution gaining attention: Calmare Therapy.
Calmare Therapy—also known as Scrambler Therapy—is a FDA-cleared device-based treatment that uses low-level electrical stimulation to alter pain signaling in the nervous system.
Unlike standard therapies, Calmare:
It doesn’t block pain; it replaces it with non-painful information, overriding faulty pain loops.
Calmare was developed in Italy and is now used worldwide to treat various neuropathic conditions. In the next section, we’ll explore why it’s especially beneficial for young athletes with CRPS.
Young athletes need fast, safe, and sustainable recovery. Calmare offers all three. Here’s how:
Athletes and their families want to avoid opioid risks. Calmare doesn’t rely on painkillers, making it a safe alternative for youth.
Unlike surgeries or injections, Calmare involves no needles or cutting. Sessions are gentle and can be repeated as needed.
Pain reduction enables active rehab. With CRPS symptoms suppressed, athletes can resume:
Early, effective pain relief helps prevent long-term nerve damage and career interruptions.
Next, we’ll break down how Calmare Therapy works inside the body.
Calmare uses electrocutaneous stimulation to send synthetic "non-pain" signals to the dorsal root ganglion—a cluster of nerve cells that process pain.
Most patients report tingling, warmth, or light tapping during treatment. Sessions last about 45 minutes and are typically done 5 to 10 times over 2 weeks.
The following section compares Calmare to other CRPS treatment options.
Conventional CRPS treatments include:
Calmare offers a low-risk, repeatable option without altering athletic eligibility or risking dependency.
Next, we’ll cover success rates and real-world outcomes of Calmare Therapy in CRPS cases.
Multiple studies report promising results from Calmare Therapy. Notably:
In the next section, we’ll explain what happens during a Calmare session.
A typical Calmare session follows a structured, painless routine:
Most CRPS patients undergo 10–12 sessions over two weeks. Booster sessions may be required for flare-ups.
We now look at how Calmare Therapy also treats other nerve pain conditions.
Besides CRPS, Calmare Therapy treats various nerve-based pain conditions, including:
This broad efficacy reflects Calmare’s ability to modulate pain perception at the neural level, not just mask symptoms.
Next, we evaluate whether Calmare Therapy is safe for teens and young adults.
Yes, Calmare Therapy has shown a high safety profile in pediatric and adolescent cases. It is:
Common side effects are rare and include mild skin irritation or temporary tingling. No systemic side effects are reported.
Next, read about real stories of athletes who beat CRPS using Calmare Therapy.
After a cleat injury led to CRPS in his ankle, Jordan was benched for 8 months. Calmare helped reduce his pain from 9/10 to 2/10 after 7 sessions. He returned to full training within 4 weeks.
Diagnosed with CRPS post-wrist fracture, Maya couldn’t grip equipment. After Calmare Therapy, she reported improved motion and 90% pain reduction, continuing her path to collegiate gymnastics.
These stories show that recovery is possible—with the right therapy and support.
