Thanks to Dr. Forest Tennant, I learned how to institute a pain protocol for patients with severe low back pain, many of whom had co-morbidities such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, dysautonomia/Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, neurogenic bladder, gadtroparesis, CRPS/RSD of lower extremeties, and more. Instituted a stepwise protocol that heals from the inside out.
