Fibromyalgia

Overview

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties often referred to as 'fibro fog.' The condition is believed to result from changes in how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals, amplifying painful sensations. Fibromyalgia often coexists with other conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, temporomandibular joint disorders, and mood disorders. While there is no cure, our rheumatologists take a multifaceted approach to management that combines medication, physical therapy, stress reduction techniques, and lifestyle modifications to help patients reduce symptoms and improve their quality of life.
