What is the best holistic treatment for rsd? i was diagnosed with rsd in 2009. the condition has slowly progressed into something which, at times, can be quite painful. i have treated sporadically, but do not want to take over-the-counter or prescription

RSD, : Rsd, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also goes by other names (including causalgia and complex regional pain syndrome). The syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and is somewhat controversial (not just because the term is often inappropriately used). Answers regarding holistic treatments may be more easily obtained by moving this question to the "complimentary and alternative medicine" section of avvo.

Desensitize: I practice allopathic medicine but one of the most important treatments for rsd or crps is therapy, especially desensitization therapy and that does not involve medications or procedures. Have your doctor send you to such physical therapy if possible. Good luck.
