Fibromyalgia is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause, according to allopathic medicine, is still unknown- and we have help! Fibromyalgia presents as pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons - the soft, "fibrous tissues" in the body.

Most patients with fibromyalgia say that they ache all over.  Their muscles may feel like they have been pulled or overworked.  Sometimes the muscles twitch and at other times they burn or ache.  More women as compared to men are afflicted with fibromyalgia and it shows up in people of all ages. Fibromyalgia sufferers often describe their aches and pains as being similar to how they feel when they have an extreme case of the flu.  Every muscle in their body hurts and they feel completely exhausted.

Chiropractic and Acupuncture have been shown to be an excellent fibromyalgia treatment.  Fibromyalgia sufferers find that alignments of the spine significantly reduce pain all over their bodies as does balancing a person's Qi through acupuncture.

Chinese medicine views fibromyalgia as a condition resulting from general weakness of energy in the body. The body is weakened by environmental factors, nutritional deficiencies, over work, and emotional factors. These things cause the body to be out of balance, which then causes the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia.

Western Medicine characterizes fibromyalgia as wide spread muscle pain throughout the body. Doctors believe that fibromyalgia increases pain awareness due the brain’s inability to process pain signals correctly.

Acupuncture is widely used to help with fibromyalgia pain. When acupuncture needles are inserted, they stimulate nerves and send signals to the hypothalamus-pituitary glands. The hypothalamus-pituitary glands are responsible for releasing neurotransmitters and endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing hormones. Therefore helping with all over body pain and fatigue.
