Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
Fibromyalgia is a difficult condition to live with as pain begins to appear all over the body. Fibromyalgia symptoms spread throughout muscles and joints and can cause fatigue, loss of sleep, issues with memory and trouble with moods. Fibromyalgia has been known to heighten the body’s sense of painful sensations by changing how the brain processes pain.
Often patients begin to feel symptoms of fibromyalgia after intense trauma to the body such as surgery, infections, intense physical accident, or great psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms develop over time without an intense event. At HealthStar Clinic we treat a variety of pain related conditions. To treat all of these conditions we offer comprehensive programs to make sure each patient gets the best treatment suited for their condition and individual needs.

SYMPTOMS OF FIBROMYALGIA
Women typically develop fibromyalgia more often than men. Sufferers
of fibromyalgia may also experience feelings of depression, anxiety, and
frequent headaches.
Fibromyalgia pain is often described as a dull ache in the muscles all over
the body. Sufferers of fibromyalgia often experience pain extremely easily.
A touch, a grab of the arm, or even bumping into something can be
extremely painful. Patients with fibromyalgia also have tender points
where they feel intense pain. These points are located in the shoulders,
neck, upper chest, elbows, hips, and knees.
Along with the symptoms of fibromyalgia, people often have a constant
feeling of fatigue accompanied by trouble sleeping. This constant fatigue
and sleep problems serve to magnify the pain symptoms and also affect mood.

CAUSES OF FIBROMYALGIA
Most researchers believe fibromyalgia is developed from intense trauma to the patient’s body; this could be an impact from a car accident or powerful blow. Fibromyalgia can also appear from great emotional trauma; many sufferers of post-traumatic stress have also shown a link with fibromyalgia. Disease and illnesses can also serve as a trigger. It has been shown that genetics may have some role in the development of fibromyalgia in some cases as well; certain genetic mutations can make individuals more susceptible to the condition.
