Fibromyalgia Treatment

Because fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are a group of signs and symptoms, it is considered a syndrome and should be treated differently for effective relief. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are complicated conditions and each patient has a unique set of symptoms that need to be addressed in an individual way. Many chronic pain disorders and musculoskeletal complaints from other causes frequently overlap classic areas of fibromyalgia, which include central sensitivity syndrome, CFS, irritable bowel syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder. Many also suffer concomitant systemic inflammatory illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis C, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus). A careful examination and differentiation of the various possible co-conditions that are commonly found in fibromyalgia patients is critical. Most clinicians now recommend multidisciplinary rehabilitation, pain reduction modalities, exercise and sometimes cognitive behavioral therapy. At Infinite Wellness Center we take this type of multi-faceted approach to care of fibromyalgia and associated disorders.
