Fibromyalgia
Diagnosis
Fibromyalgia is a complex, frustrating, debilitating
and until recently, almost hopeless affliction.
It is characterized by excessive fatigue, sleeplessness, depression, headaches,
muscle stiffness, tenderness and pain . . . lots of pain.
It is a difficult illness to diagnose because the symptoms resemble
those of so many other common complaints. These shared symptoms cause
Fibromyalgia to be easily confused with simple Myofascial Pain, as an example.
The treatments for the two are very different.
A thorough examination and proper diagnosis are the first steps toward
relief of symptoms. Symptoms are treated, not
masked.
Treatment
Identify the problem
Practicioners
and researchers had noted that Fibromyalgia is associated with reduced
levels of needed Amino Acids, poor absorption of nutrients, food allergies
and incomplete detoxification of the blood by the liver.
Correct the problem
Nutritional Pharmacology
provides many answers by helping the body replace missing components needed
to correct the body's biochemistry. Microcurrent
therapy provides the balance of the solution by allowing you doctor to
quickly treat each painful trigger
point. By blending these disciplines, muscle damage and discomfort
can be dealt with on the outside while the body is supported nutritionally
and continues to heal from the cellular level.
