For various reasons, you might feel pain in different areas of your body. However, there are instances when the pain may be widespread and not caused by a single factor. One such illness that mainly affects the musculoskeletal system of the body and can cause severe, pervasive pain is fibromyalgia. This condition can seriously interfere with your daily activities and affect your neck and back most commonly. Fortunately, advanced QI spine therapy can help manage your painful fibromyalgia symptoms.

Fibromyalgia can cause stiffness in your muscles, primarily in your neck, shoulders, and back, by affecting your musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. Apart from chronic and widespread pain, there can be other signs of fibromyalgia that you should be aware of. These symptoms may include the following:

Pain that could be described as a deep ache or a burning pain
Increased sensitivity to pressure-induced pain
Tender spots, particularly on the shoulders and back of the neck
Pain and stiffness in the body that worsen at night and get better during the day
Fatigue
Having trouble sleeping
Hands and feet that are numb or tingly

Understanding the symptoms can help you seek prompt fibromyalgia treatment for better relief from pain. Unfortunately, the exact cause of fibromyalgia cannot be attributed to a single factor, but it has been linked to abnormal levels of various chemicals in the brain, in addition to differences in the manner in which the central nervous system processes signals of pain. There are a few possible causes or risk factors of fibromyalgia, which may include:

Physical injury
Emotional trauma
Psychological stress
Sleep disturbances
Illness, especially viral infections

The primary focus of fibromyalgia treatment is to manage pain, for which patients may be recommended antidepressants, anti-epileptics, muscle relaxants, sleeping tablets, and painkillers. However, these medicines can lead to many potential side effects that can harm your health. QI Spine Clinic offers a range of non-invasive, conservative methods of fibromyalgia treatment that are quite effective and don't have any side effects.

Our orthopedic doctor in Delhi recommends strength training and low-impact aerobic exercises that help alleviate muscle pain and fatigue. These exercises not only lessen pain but also improve the quality of your sleep, which can lessen the intensity of your fibromyalgia symptoms. Furthermore, our physiotherapy specialists collaborate with our spine doctors to create a customised advanced physiotherapy programme for each patient. Customised treatment approaches guarantee that our patients' unique needs are met while coordinating their requirements with the intended course of treatment.

Advanced physiotherapy and medical movements for fibromyalgia treatment focus on stretching exercises that help prevent stiffness and improve muscle function. During your physical therapy regimen, your Orthopedic doctor in Noida will track your progress and suggest increasing the intensity of your exercises gradually based on your improvements. Massage therapy may also benefit your muscles, as fibromyalgia causes widespread body pain. Therapeutic massage therapy can not only improve blood circulation throughout the body, which helps relieve pain, but also help relax the tense muscles, thereby effectively reducing muscle stiffness and stress.

Over the years, acupuncture—an alternative therapy that uses extremely tiny needles to stimulate particular areas of the body—has gained popularity as a means of treating both acute and chronic pain in various body parts. Neurotransmitter levels in the brain and spinal cord can be altered by stimulating particular areas, which can help lessen pain.

Because of the ongoing pain from fibromyalgia, our psychologists and spine rehabilitation specialists also help patients learn stress-reduction techniques that can become a chronic issue. Patients may experience crippling psychological effects, including stress and anxiety, which can exacerbate fibromyalgia-related pain. You can effectively manage your fibromyalgia-related stress and anxiety by using a variety of relaxation techniques.

Fibromyalgia-related persistent, pervasive pain can have a crippling impact on a patient's physical and emotional well-being. Don't put off getting diagnosed and receiving treatment if you are experiencing these symptoms. For the best pain management, speak with one of QI Spine’s top spine specialists.
