Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia support ☯️
Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic and debilitating condition. Though the cause is not known it is thought to be a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. The most common symptoms include:
1️⃣ chronic fatigue
2️⃣ muscle and joint pain
3️⃣ headaches
4️⃣ TMJ pain
5️⃣ sleep disturbances
6️⃣ swollen feet
7️⃣ cognitive impairment
8️⃣ IBS
9️⃣ heart palpitations
🔟 restless leg syndrome
Treatment usually focuses on symptom management using a combination of pain killing and anti depressant medication, cognitive behavioural therapy and exercise. While this approach can be helpful for some, many people can suffer symptoms long term with little relief.
Clinical trials provide evidence to show that Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is effective in treating different types of chronic pain, relieve muscle tension, reducing anxiety and fatigue, improving sleep quality and quality of life.
If you are struggling with this debilitating condition and would like to try an evidence based holistic approach to managing symptoms, DM me to make an appointment.
