Integrative Medicine and Pain Management at Kenai Medicenter
Dr's Carlson and Trescot saved me from a lifetime of insufferable pain and mental torture. I have been very sick for over a decade, and although recently diagnosed with MS, for years had difficulty finding doctors who would take these odd and often unexplainable symptoms seriously. They did. They did not give up, and despite the lack of ability of specialists to diagnose me for over a decade, they were able to discover ways to determine the best protocols to relieve and reduce symptoms and get me off almost all of the insane amounts of medication that I was on previously.
At the Integrative Medicine and Pain Management programs at Kenai Medicenter, the staff are very caring, serious, and community minded. They very much want to help those who cannot find the help they should have already have received.
Integrative medicine is not a simple process, a just take an aspirin and call in the morning thing, nor does one size or one prescription fit all...its as much about the process as it is about the results. The approach calls for the doctor to take time to actually listen to the patients, and we are a part of coming up with the best way to get to the bottom of our health issues, including knowledge of how our environment, our food, and lifestyle impact us. These doctors really care about their patients. So, I don't like to admit that they can be late to appointments in that section of Medicenter, but it certainly happens. It is 100% absolutely worth it, knowing that you have a doctor who specializes in YOU and knows what he or she is doing.
If whomever reads this has a health problem that has gone unresolved through the traditional western medicine system, if you feel that you are over medicated and nothing else is working, give the Pain Management and Integrative Medicine programs at Kenai Medicenter a shot. It DOES work. Warning: It only works when I fully do what the doctor recommends, though. The treatment plan adjusts over time, but it allows me to have a life with MS instead of MS running me. read more
