Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the term used to describe a condition involving idiopathic (unknown causation) diffuse muscle and joint pain and chronic fatigue.  It is often the diagnosis given to a patient experiencing these symptoms when diagnostic tests like x-rays and blood tests are inconclusive.  It is sometimes classified as a metabolic disorder and may be tied to rheumatism/ rheumatic disease.  People who have a history of acute trauma can develop chronic pain, which may lead to fibromyalgia.

Treatment at our clinic for fibromyalgia may include light therapy, lymphatic massage, chiropractic manipulation, manual therapies, exercises, and anti-oxidant nutritional supplements.
