Condition
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory issues, and mood changes. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way the brain and spinal cord process pain and non-pain signals.
The condition often develops gradually, and symptoms may begin after physical trauma, surgery, infection, or significant psychological stress. In some cases, symptoms accumulate over time with no single triggering event. Women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than men.
At Spinal Interventions, we take a comprehensive approach to fibromyalgia management, using medication management, trigger point injections, and coordinated care to help patients reduce pain, improve sleep, and enhance their overall quality of life.
