Are you suffering from an extreme amount of body aches? Are you experiencing widespread pain in your muscles and bones, along with experiencing tenderness and general fatigue? Many doctors cannot figure out any specific reason for this pain under X-ray or plan proper treatment.
You shouldn't ignore these symptoms; these types of body aches can be symptoms of an underlying health condition called Fibromyalgia. At least 4 million adults suffer from fibromyalgia.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes extensive musculoskeletal pain, and tiredness, sleep, cognitive, and mood problems. Fibromyalgia pain can also be caused by brain signal disruptions that can amplify pain to non-painful sensations in different muscle nerves of the body. It can also affect your daily activities, job, and social life; acupuncture can help with fibromyalgia pain and can also improve your quality of life.
What causes Fibromyalgia?
The cause of fibromyalgia has not been found. Scientists have tried looking for evidence of inflammation in the aching muscles to figure out the causes of the widespread pain. They believe it could be an imbalance in levels of neurotransmitters in the brain that experience widespread pain due to repetitive stimulation of the nerve in the muscular system.
What are the signs of fibromyalgia?
- Pain and stiffness all over the body
- Fatigue and tiredness
- Depression and anxiety
- Sleep problems
- Problems with thinking, memory, and concentration
- Headaches, including migraines
Acupuncture and TCM may be beneficial for fibromyalgia pain. The treatment option can be on its own or combined with other forms of treatment, as it is safe and minimally invasive. Acupuncture can help get your symptoms under control for fibromyalgia pain.
