Meet Dr. Ruth Reid-Thornton
CHRONIC PAIN RESCUE
Live with less pain. Live an opiate-free life.
Although there are many patients being treated for chronic pain, it seems that they don't get better.
They are often told they will "just have to live with it".
Some are treated like pariahs, seen merely as drug addicts or seekers, while others have two problems: pain and addiction. Their families and friends become indifferent or absent, either feeling they cannot help or that they don’t believe they are disabled.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Hi! I’m Dr. Ruth Reid-Thornton.
I have been practicing medicine for over 20 years. I am board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as well as Holistic and Integrative Medicine.
I have dedicated this practice to help people suffering from chronic pain without the need for opiates.
Many don't realize that diet, exercise and other interventions can make a difference.
Compassionate, expert care you can trust
