Treating Inflammation, Chronic Pain & Stress Related Disorders
FIND OUT WHAT’S REALLY CAUSING YOUR SYMPTOMS
COMMON Inflammation, Chronic Pain & Stress Related Disorders we treat
Chronic inflammation and stress-related disorders are at the root of many health conditions. It is important to understand what is causing your chronic inflammation – instead of just treating the symptoms of the inflammation with anti-inflammatories or pain medications.
Inflammation has been found to be the root cause of many chronic health conditions. Many things in our everyday life result in chronic inflammation: emotional stress, genetics, a diet high in sugar or processed foods, poor digestive health, exposure to toxins.
Almost all diseases result from some form of chronic inflammation. Some major examples include: arthritis, ADHD, PCOS, heart disease, lupus, and autism.
Some signs and symptoms to look out for include: Fatigue, Pain, Inattention, Cognitive decline, Brain Fog, and Joint Pain.
If you have any of these, you may have chronic inflammation. It is important to determine the underlying triggers so you can get resolution and move forward to greater health.

Where are you located?
Can you work with me?
Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — lets you visit your doctor and receive care without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone through video conferences and internet phone calls. This remote option is ideal for people who live in remote areas, or need consultation with a specialist whose office is an unreasonable or burdensome distance away. If you have internet access, we can help.
