“I always felt like I was present in moments, but I was separated by a barrier of pain. I couldn’t smile without faking.” – Stella Arturo.
Imagine being 12 years old, enjoying life, sports, running, and having a great time. Then, you sprain your ankle – nothing much, you think. But then you start experiencing excruciating pains, disproportionate to a sprained ankle. And those pains don’t go away – they only get worse.
This is what happened to Brisbane teen Stella Arturo, and her nightmare was only just starting. When her condition gradually worsened, Stella lost the use of her legs and became wheelchair-bound. Medical treatment in the following years did not result in relief and, as Stella puts it, “I lost my childhood.”
Her condition seemed to be permanent and incurable until Stella’s parents found the Arkansas-based Spero Clinic. This is a one-of-a-kind facility specializing in treating conditions such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which causes incessant and excruciating chronic pain.
The Curse of CRPS
CRPS can set in after even a minor injury such as, in Stella’s case, a sprained ankle. The ankle may heal, but the pain remains. Alarmingly, 35 percent of sufferers eventually report symptoms throughout the body. These symptoms may at first seem localized but can progress rapidly like a wildfire out of control.
Common to chronic pain conditions such as CRPS, is that it seems to have no cause, and therefore no cure in traditional medicine. Doctors will prescribe pain medications which may give temporary relief but, in the long run, can become dangerous and addictive.
What Causes This Condition?
Spero’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Katinka van der Merwe discovered that CRPS is linked to a global failure of the central nervous system, which has been confirmed by a number of studies. If the central nervous system falters or fails, it gives rise to complex problems manifesting in all sorts of symptoms.
In other words, the central nervous system is constantly ringing alarm bells because something is wrong. Trying to silence the alarm bells will not address the reason why they went off in the first place. Yet, finding the cause of the alarm bells will resolve the condition. And that’s the exact approach of The Spero Clinic in treating CRPS.
A Different Healing Strategy
Spero’s treatment program focuses on restoring the normal flow, tone, and function of the central nervous system and, in particular, the Vagus nerve – the cause of all mayhem. When this nerve doesn’t function correctly, inflammation can occur in one part (or all the parts) of the body. This condition will cause your nerves to be “on fire.”
By systematically repairing and reactivating this nerve and thus, the central nervous system, CRPS tends to go into remission and may be healed altogether. In other words, the healing occurs from the inside out. This treatment is proven to be 100% safe and has no side effects.
Results Matter
It’s this approach – looking for and treating the causes of the pain, that has earned The Spero Clinic an unprecedented 84% success rate in treating their patients and has given teens such as Stella a new chance in life.
The road to recovery may not be an easy one, but when that road leads to a pain-free life, Spero’s patients consider it more than worth it.
Stella’s parents put it this way: “We arrived with our daughter in a wheelchair and only having use of her right arm with full body pain and sensitivity. Long story, short – within a couple of weeks she was up and walking, pain and sensitivity dropping. After a strenuous and intense 13 weeks (with plenty of speed bumps) she “rang the bell” and walked out pain-free and full-bodied to return to/begin her life, as she knew it before CRPS.”
