A debilitating condition, the onset of fibromyalgia typically arises spontaneously with no obvious cause. Pain intensifies and changes location in the body unpredictably, as treatments seem to be effective one moment and then less effective the next. Sufferers heavily make up some of the 45% of patients who arrive at the doctor with unexplained pain. 

Conventional Approaches Focus On Symptoms Not Causes

They suggest pain killers, antidepressants, antipsychotics and muscle relaxants. Although these medications may provide temporary relief, they are still only treating the symptoms and not the causes. Of course if symptoms are significantly affecting your life, temporary relief from medications may be a savior.

Alternative Therapies Will Provide Great Relief But Will NOT Completely Heal You

Great relief comes from yoga, exercise, meditation, acupuncture and massage. As these modalities calm down the central nervous system and restore chemical imbalances. Even with great relief, they will not usually completely heal fibromyalgia. Plus it’s typical to overly rely on alternative therapies, as there seems to be no other solutions.
