Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is one of the most painful and misunderstood conditions in medicine—often leaving patients searching for answers, relief, and hope.

In Putting Out the Fire, Dr. Katinka van der Merwe offers a powerful new perspective: CRPS is not simply a condition of damaged tissue, but a disorder of a dysregulated nervous system—where the body becomes stuck in a constant state of alarm. Instead of focusing on masking symptoms, this book explores the deeper connections between the nervous system, immune response, inflammation, and brain signaling that drive chronic pain.

Through clear, accessible explanations, readers will learn how CRPS develops, why symptoms can spread and intensify, and how seemingly unrelated issues, like fatigue, digestive problems, and brain fog, are all connected.

Most importantly, this book provides hope.

By understanding the body as an interconnected system and leveraging the brain’s ability to change, Putting Out the Fire introduces a comprehensive approach focused on restoring balance, retraining the nervous system, and supporting the body’s natural capacity to heal.

Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or practitioner, this book offers a roadmap to understanding CRPS—and a new path forward.
