FIBROMYALGIA: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS & TREATMENT
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, defined by widespread pain in a person’s muscles, ligaments and tendons, along with certain points of contraction in the body. This pain can then lead to difficulty sleeping, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and muscle stiffness. The condition is more common in women and occurs in all age groups. However, the average age of diagnosis is 35.
CAUZE
Researchers and doctors don’t know what causes fibromyalgia. However, thanks to decades of research, we are very close to understanding the factors that may work together to cause the condition.
These factors include:
Infections: past illnesses can trigger fibromyalgia or worsen symptoms.
Genetics: Fibromyalgia often runs in families. If you have a family member with the condition, your risk of developing it is increased.
Trauma: People who suffer physical or emotional trauma can develop fibromyalgia. The condition has been linked to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Stress: Like trauma, stress can create long-lasting effects that your body may deal with for months or years. Stress has been linked to hormonal disorders that may contribute to fibromyalgia.
Doctors also do not fully understand the factors that cause people to experience the widespread chronic pain associated with the condition. Another theory suggests that nerves and receptors in the body become more sensitive to stimulation. This means they may overreact to pain signals and cause unnecessary or exaggerated pain.
SIMPTOME
The symptoms of fibromyalgia are difficult to diagnose because there are many different causes, but they include:
Chronic muscle pain
Muscle spasms or stress
Insomnia
Feel more tired
Stiffness or pain on waking
Diagnosis is often made by a process of eliminating the number of painful sites, severity of pain and presence of symptoms for at least 3 months. We can help diagnose this problematic condition.
TREATMENT
The benefits of aerobic exercise are essential for fibromyalgia sufferers. We will demonstrate a range of specific stretching and strengthening exercises to introduce them into everyday life. Our manual therapy techniques will greatly reduce your sensation and you will have pain free days. There is no specific cure for fibromyalgia, so treatment is focused on ongoing symptom management.
Many fibromyalgia patients feel they benefit from regular soft tissue manipulation techniques, including massage and dry needling therapy
OUR EXPERTISE
Fibromyalgia can be a very difficult condition to tackle as it can have a huge impact on a person’s quality of life. Furthermore, this disorder can lead to a cycle where people may use pills or alcohol in order to fall asleep and then consume excessive caffeine in order to recover from fatigue.
Physiotherapy focuses on relieving fatigue, muscle weakness, pain and sleep disturbance.
We are highly skilled and will use various evidence-based techniques such as counseling, manipulation and strengthening, and aerobic exercise. Research has shown that a properly prescribed exercise program can be extremely beneficial for those with fibromyalgia, both physically and mentally.
