Understanding Fibromyalgia
What you should know
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties often called "fibro fog." The pain is thought to result from the brain and spinal cord processing pain signals abnormally, amplifying sensations that wouldn't normally be painful.
Fibromyalgia often coexists with other conditions — irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, anxiety, depression, and TMJ disorders — making management complex. There is no cure, but a combination of medication, exercise, stress management, and good sleep hygiene can significantly reduce symptoms.
Our physical therapists design gentle, progressive exercise programs that help without triggering flares. Our nurses manage medication regimens (which often include pain medications, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs used for pain), monitor for side effects, and provide education on pacing strategies and trigger avoidance.

Fibromyalgia — Common Questions
It can feel that way initially, which is why a graduated approach is essential. Research consistently shows that regular, gentle exercise (walking, swimming, stretching) is one of the most effective treatments for fibromyalgia. Our physical therapists start low and progress slowly to avoid triggering flares while building tolerance.
Absolutely. Fibromyalgia is recognized by the American College of Rheumatology, the NIH, and all major medical organizations. Modern research has identified measurable differences in how the nervous system processes pain in fibromyalgia patients. It is a real, diagnosable condition with evidence-based treatments.
