Fibromyalgia
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread body pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It occurs when the body’s pain-processing pathways become overactive, causing even mild stimuli to feel painful. People may also experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, headaches, memory issues (“fibro fog”), and mood changes. Although the exact cause is not fully understood, factors like stress, infections, trauma, and genetics may play a role. Fibromyalgia does not damage joints or muscles, but it can significantly impact daily life if not managed effectively.
How Fibromyalgia is Treated
- Medications to reduce pain, improve sleep, and regulate nerve sensitivity
- Exercise programs, including stretching, walking, and low-impact activities
- Physiotherapy to improve posture, flexibility, and muscle conditioning
- Stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation and relaxation therapy
- Sleep hygiene strategies to improve restorative sleep
- Lifestyle modifications, including balanced nutrition and activity pacing
A multi-disciplinary approach often helps patients regain better control over pain, energy levels, and daily functioning.
