Treatment for Centralized Pain/Adhesive Arachnoiditis/Intractable Pain
The definition of Intractable Pain (IP) is pain that does not go away, is not curable, constant and debilitating. We have a special interest in this type of pain that is caused by “Adhesive Arachnoiditis” or termed “Centralized Pain.”
Our current set of protocols for treatment are effective and can bring someone in this condition from “bed-bound” to functional and living a life again.
Pedersen Primary Care works closely with Dr. Forest Tennant, MD who is the foremost specialist in Adhesive Arachnoiditis, runs a practice in West Covina, CA, and is extensively published in this subject matter. Dr. Pedersen collaborates with Dr. Tennant and has worked closely with him in his practice to bring this important disease to light.
Many people become frustrated trying to deal with the symptoms of Adhesive Arachnoiditis and have come to believe their conditions are hopeless and that they are alone. Many are finding others with the same disease and are amazed there are support groups who deal with “Adhesive Arachnoiditis”/ “Centralized Pain”/ “Intractable Pain”/ “RSDS”/ and “Central Nervous System Adhesive Syndromes.”
Contact Pedersen Primary Care for help and treatment of this incurable/intractable pain condition.
IV/Nutrient Vitamin Therapies
Intravenous Vitamin/Nutrient Therapies are a safe and effective way to enhance your health by introducing supplementation that is necessary for every cell in the body that may not be able to reach these cells because of digestive breakdown, inability to absorb nutrients because of your unique chemistry, or just lack of nutrition in the diet.
There are also IV/Nutrient Vitamins that are much more absorbable when introduced into the body in this way. Vitamin C is one such nutrient that can be absorbed in an amazing manner that can increase immunity, etc. As just one of many immune boosters, this is able to be given in high, effective doses that do not cause digestive upset and create an environment in the body that can heal tissues, help your body fight infections, and give you that extra boost to get the immune support you need.
IV/ Nutrient Therapies have been utilized for many years and have been used to create increased energy, help with mental clarity, and even alleviate “hangovers” in Ibiza, Spain as well as here in Scottsdale, Arizona.
At Pedersen Primary Care we are interested in creating the best nutrient solution to help with your life goals, whether it be energy, exercise fatigue recovery, or help with a severe immune disorder.
