Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a disorder of chronic widespread pain associated with other concerns including debilitating fatigue, sleep disturbance, joint stiffness, digestive issues, depression/anxiety and even cognitive dysfunction. Most FMS suffers are women between 20-50 years of age. According to the diagnostic criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology there must be widespread pain of more than three month’s duration in 11 out 18 tender muscle sites (trigger points) in different part of the body. The causes of FMS still remain unclear. Clinical study, however, has revealed that the neurochemical abnormality in the brain and the activities of trigger points in musculoskeletal system have a close relationship with its sign and symptoms. Drugs and surgery seem to gain little result in the long term.

At our clinic, we offer a holistic approach to FMS. Treatments include Acupuncture, Myofascial Release Technique, NeuroHormone Electrotherapy, Herbal Medicine and Nutrition & diet counseling. Exercise and lifestyle changes such as stress reduction and detoxification will also be emphasized. Particularly, Acupuncture in the form of trigger point needling technique can effectively deactivate and desensitize trigger points which cause FMS patients chronic massive muscle pain and tenderness, it brings about almost immediate pain relief and the result may last months or even permanently. NeuroHormone Electrotherapy has demonstrated clinically proven results in achieving long lasting effectiveness in the alleviation of pain, chronic fatigue, sleeping problems and emotional stress since it successfully helps rebuild the homeostasis of the body by enhancing and balancing the neurotransmitters of the central nervous system.
