Identify & Treat Root Cause
of PANS/PANDAS

Ā 

Functional Medicine diagnoses and determines the root cause of PANS/PANDAS.Ā Possible underlying contributors include infections (like Streptococcal Bacteria, including Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Lyme Disease, and even viruses), gut health imbalances,Ā and exposure to environmental toxins, which cause inflammation and immune system dysregulation.Ā Traditional antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and psychiatric medications may have long-term side effects and donā€™t address these underlying issues.Ā Ā 

Ā Through identifying and treating the root cause of your symptoms, Arbor Health offers a real solution for your child to heal.Ā Ā Ā

PatientĀ Success Stories

"Before finding Arbor Health, my son had seen more than 10 doctors and none of them had takenĀ a holistic approachĀ to his treatment. After a second opinion trip to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia that left us with no answers, we wereĀ very excitedĀ to find an expert in our own backyard. Our team at Arbor has been amazing to work with. Their approach to treating PANS and Lyme Disease has been completely on point and I highly recommend them."
