EDS Healthcare in Maryland

Bethesda Physiocare is an EDS Society Center of Excellence specializing in physical therapy for hypermobility. Johns Hopkins Hospital houses the McKusick-Nathans Department of Genetic Medicine and Dr. Howard Levy, a recognized authority on EDS. The NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda runs the Undiagnosed Diseases Program. The University of Maryland Medical Center also has a Connective Tissue Disorders Program.

The Baltimore-Bethesda corridor has excellent EDS resources, but patients in western Maryland, the Eastern Shore, and southern Maryland face longer travel times. Wait times at Johns Hopkins and NIH can be substantial given their national reputation. Insurance coverage for the NIH Clinical Center may differ from standard programs.

Finding Pain Management / Physiatry for EDS

Ask whether they use multimodal approaches like nerve blocks and low-dose naltrexone rather than relying primarily on opioid prescriptions for EDS pain.
