Fibromyalgia Therapies and Treatments

In honor of National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day this month, we are doing our part to set the record straight on Fibromyalgia, a condition the MayoClinic calls “one of the most misunderstood disorders in medicine today.” Once thought to be an autoimmune or inflammatory disorder, specialists now agree that fibromyalgia is a disorder of the nervous system. It most commonly affects women in middle age and is often found in conjunction with other disorders — arthritis, lupus, spondylitis, and additional rheumatic disorders. It is estimated that 20 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia.
