What is PANS/PANDAS?
Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS) are conditions characterized by the sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive behaviors and other neuropsychiatric symptoms following an infection or other immune system trigger. These disorders involve an abnormal immune response that affects the brain, leading to rapid and severe changes in behavior, mood, and cognitive function.
A Natural Cure for PANS/PANDAS
Functional Medicine diagnoses and determines the root cause of PANS/PANDAS. Infections (like Streptococcal Bacteria, including Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Lyme Disease, and even viruses), gut health imbalances, and exposure to environmental toxins cause inflammation and immune system dysregulation. Traditional antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and psychiatric medications may have long-term side effects and don’t address these underlying issues.
Through identifying and treating the root cause of your symptoms, Arbor Health offers a real solution for your child to heal.

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