Tennant has been treating patients with Intractable Pain Syndrome since he opened his pain clinic in 1975, where he treated patients with painful diseases until he retired in 2018. 

Dr. Tennant has been kind enough to allow us to publish his works on our site. Feel free to print out any of the information you find on this website and share widely.

We highly recommend that you read Dr. Tennant's article on Arachnoiditis. This is a comprehensive first-generation diagnostic and treatment guide for managing this inflammatory, painful condition of the lower spinal canal. 

Two important videos from Dr. Tennant and Dr. Bobby Koneru on Arachnoiditis. The first video is from The Monk and the Hedonist and is a follow-up question and answer period with Dr. Tennant. Questions were submitted by members of the ACMCRN Facebook group and are based on the first video. It's best to watch them both or you can read the transcripts.
