The RSD / CRPS Treatment Center and Research Institute in Tampa, Florida is dedicated exclusively to RSD / CRPS. It is the world's first institute of its kind. The Institute opened its Center in February 2008, which is approved by the Florida Board of Medicine for Level II surgery.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, known as RSD, is a chronic neurological disorder that affects millions of people around the world. This disorder is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or CRPS.
Some of the treatments include a 3-day infusion with IV ketamine on an outpatient basis that is critical and not readily available elsewhere in the USA. Additionally, there are children who suffer from RSD / CRPS and receive treatments that are only available through the Institute.
The Institute, under the direction of Anthony Kirkpatrick MD, PhD, devotes significant efforts to educating physicians worldwide on RSD / CRPS.
