Dr. Forest Tennant was a pioneering physician, researcher, educator, and a deeply valued friend to the Arachnoiditis Community. His passing was a profound loss to all of us who benefited from his knowledge, compassion, and unwavering dedication to people living with Adhesive Arachnoiditis and intractable pain. Dr. Tennant gave patients something many had struggled to find for years: recognition, understanding, and hope. His influence continues to be felt throughout ACMCRN and the broader arachnoiditis community, and we remain deeply grateful for the extraordinary body of work he left behind.
Dr. Tennant devoted decades of his career to the study and treatment of intractable pain and Adhesive Arachnoiditis. His extensive body of work includes clinical bulletins, IPS Chronicles, treatment protocols, handbooks, research, and patient education materials.
Dr. Tennant's educational materials are used throughout the ACMCRN website and blog as resources on Adhesive Arachnoiditis, its symptoms and complications, and approaches to treatment and management. His work has helped patients better understand this complex disease while also providing valuable information for caregivers, advocates, and medical professionals.
ACMCRN has collected a substantial number of Dr. Tennant's Bulletins and IPS Chronicles. We are working to organize these materials into a comprehensive, searchable resource archive so that patients, caregivers, researchers, and healthcare professionals can more easily locate information by topic.
While we develop the searchable archive, additional materials from Dr. Tennant's body of work are available through the Tennant Foundation's Arachnoiditis Hope website.
