More Info

  • Do I have to complete the entire program?

    No, you may also see us for individual appointments as well. We offer customizable plans that work within your budget. The program visits are discounted in comparison to individual appointments.

  • How long is the program?

    The program is roughly 4 months long. Although, you may do individual a la carte appointments, instead. It was designed to ensure the skills patients acquire in the program work with the evidence-based interventions implemented throughout the 4-month program.

  • Who will I see during my time in the program?

    Our team for patient care includes: a prescriber, a therapist, our office team, and our sleep specialist, Dr. Mohan (who can be consulted, as needed).

  • What makes your program different?

    We learn everything we can about our patients and take on the responsibility of helping you manage your illness by spending quality time learning about your symptomology. We also use holistic interventions including:


    • Prescriptions
    • Supplements (we will help you find affordable and discounted supplements)
    • Patient Toolbox (we will help you learn skills to improve your quality of life)
    • Resources and referrals (we will connect you to the right people and therapies)

  • What happens at the end of the program?

    Our providers will continue to support you following your completion of the program and can be consulted, as needed. We will also continue to help you get refills on your discounted supplements and prescriptions.

  • Why is there a need for your program?

    Many diseases such as ME, CFS, Fibromyalgia, etc. are misunderstood and patients with these chronic illnesses are underserved. We decided to create this program to bridge the gap in managing these illnesses.

  • What led to the creation of this program?

    Our Co-Founder, Yassin Ghanem, CNP, is a patient with ME/CFS. He has suffered with his symptoms for many years before finding a prescriber who could manage his symptomology. Yassin brought many of the interventions that helped improve his quality of life to the program.


  • Can you accommodate someone who is bed bound or severe ME?

    Yes, we will work with you to your comfort level. We understand getting care can be difficult and exhausting for some with disabling symptoms. We will discuss and create a care plan for you, and we also offer telemedicine appointments if that is your preference.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    No, however we accept HSA, FSA, and CareCredit, which allows you to pay over the course of time. We also offer the Superbill so you can attempt to submit the appointment costs to your insurance company for reimbursement.


    We spend several hours with our patients to help find route causes to their symptomology. We also use unique treatment options that may not be covered by insurance. We advocate for our patients and find affordable options when possible. If you are concerned about affordability – give us a call and we can explain these options in greater detail (440-425-0155).

Wellness Starts Here

The Institute of Neurophysical Restoration (INPR), is a unique program within ARC Wellness created to fill a gap for those dealing with chronic illnesses. This program was designed to optimize your quality of life with recognition of post-exertion symptom exacerbation, dysautonomia, and orthostatic intolerance. We are invested in you- which is why we personalized our program to address your needs. 


Our providers have personal and professional experience with the chronic illness community and have consulted with community advocates to provide specialized, evidence-based care. 

During your visits with our prescriber, your medical history will be thoroughly reviewed, and appropriate lab work will be ordered (if necessary), to serve as the foundation for your care. Our prescriber is aware of the most up-to-date and innovative empirically based interventions utilized with the chronic illness community as well as medication sensitivities affiliated with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Fibromyalgia, POTS, EDS, are more disorders we help manage).


We understand that your disease is biological in nature and therefore recognize that mental well-being is a contributing factor in disease progression and stress management. Our therapist is aware and mindful of the varying symptomology and its impact on the mind and body. 

In collaboration with our therapist, we will develop your skills “toolbox,” which will serve as the foundation for your wellness journey. This toolbox will include interventions such as pacing therapy and energy envelope education. Our goal is to improve your quality of life through the utilization of these skills.


We know that every aspect of your life has changed as a result of your illness and acknowledge that change is difficult for everyone. 



While our program is individualized, focusing on self-love and compassion to establish your empowered foundation is at the core of your work with our therapist. With the development of your “toolbox,” our goal is to help redirect your energy towards neuroprotective interventions to give you back your power and life! 

Patient Testimonial

“One day, I pushed myself through feelings of discomfort and hesitancy to send a message to my provider, Yassin Ghanem. After reading my message, he immediately scheduled a follow up meeting to discuss the severity of the symptoms I’d been having – crippling fatigue, relentless brain fog, difficulty concentrating, widespread body pain, muscle weakness, sensitivity to external stimuli – all which piled up to result in feelings of hopelessness. My ability to function effectively on a daily basis had been immensely compromised, and the simplest tasks began to feel impossible. Yassin Ghanem determined that there was a strong likelihood that I had been misdiagnosed with “Idiopathic Hypersomnia,” then introduced me to The Institute for Neurophysical Restoration Program at Arc Wellness Center. For years of my life, I fought desperately to find answers as to what the root cause of my suffering was – healthcare specialist after healthcare specialist, miscellaneous diagnoses and opinions – all to never walk away from the encounters feeling like I had an actual solution. It wasn’t until I met Yassin Ghanem and Leslie Stevens that I began to feel genuine hope; from day one, I knew without a doubt that I was heard, believed, and would be supported. After completing the program, my life has changed drastically. Although there is no cure for ME/CFS, this is the closest I’ve ever felt to it since the onset of the condition in my life. I am forever indebted to them for the work they’ve done – their dedication to this field has had an incredibly positive impact on me, beyond words. If you are debating on whether or not this program is the right fit for you, I would strongly encourage you to reach out to their team – you will feel the impact of their passion for understanding and treating chronic illness, their love for their work, and their level of immediate investment in ensuring you receive the care you need. Please don’t stop yourself from connecting to this resource – you no longer have to struggle to survive the way you have been. Thanks to the INPR Program and their providers, we no longer have to fall through the cracks in the medical system, nor do we need to postpone the care we need. I am beyond grateful for their help as it has drastically changed the quality of my life.”
