Fibromyalgia

Of all the current mysterious illnesses, fibromyalgia is likely the most clinically complex and misunderstood, with probably the greatest number of causes that need to be individually addressed.  The diagnosis of fibromyalgia includes tenderness and pain at numerous locations, frequently accompanied by inflammation, fatigue and, commonly, digestive and endocrine imbalances.  The western medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia is seriously disconcerting to the alternative practitioner as patients very often attribute every uncomfortable symptom to the diagnosis and fail to receive care for unrelated disturbances. 

If we take a holistic (whole body) approach, however, we uncover many causes related to the symptoms we call “fibromyalgia,” each one needing to be addressed individually. Spinal misalignments, inflammation and allergies, thyroid and adrenal imbalance, and hormone imbalances can be alleviated, even when there has been no success in these areas with traditional western medicine.  Realistically, the symptoms of fibromyalgia are difficult to eliminate entirely.  The good news is that significant relief is available when an holistic approach is applied.
