Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia  is a medical disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain and allodynia a heightened and painful response to pressure. Fibromyalgia symptoms are not restricted to pain, leading to the use of the alternative term fibromyalgia syndrome for the condition. Other symptoms include debilitating fatigue, sleep, disturbance, and joint stiffness. Some patients may also report difficulty with swallowing, bowel and bladder abnormalities, numbness and tingling and cognitive dysfunction. Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety and stress-related disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Not all people with fibromyalgia experience all associated symptoms.

Fibromyalgia is estimated to affect 2-4% of the population,  with a female to male incidence ratio of approximately 9:1.

Pain is the most prominent symptom of Fibromaylgia. It usually affects the entire body, although it may start in one area, such as the neck and shoulders, and spread to other areas over a period of time. Fibromyalgia is a form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue.

You (or someone you know) may be experiencing moderate or severe fatigue with a lack of energy, decreased exercise endurance, or the kind of exhaustion that results from the flu or lack of sleep. Sometimes the fatigue is more of a problem than the pain. Headaches, especially tension and migraine headaches, are common in Fibromyalgia. Abdominal pain, bloating, alternating constipation, bladder spasms, and irritability may cause urinary urgency or frequency. Your skin and blood circulation can be sensitive to temperature changes, resulting in temporary changes in skin color.

How long have you suffered? A few months, several years or perhaps too many years to mention? Some may suffer only minor symptoms, while others (perhaps you or a loved one) feel the debilitating affects of fibromyalgia and are kept from participating in their daily life, making even simple activities almost impossible.

After 30 years plus in practice I have tried the full range of therapies and treatments available to me, with minimal success. I knew there had to be more, a method of treatment that could help them (and you!). After searching to find the answer. I found it. The answer to helping most Fibromyalgia symptoms. Oxygen Enhanced Brain Based Therapy and BioMedical Nutrition.

I found out about this breakthrough therapy from Dr. Michael Johnson, author of the alternative medicine best seller “What Do You Do When the Medications Dont Work  A Non-Drug Treatment of Dizziness, Migraine Headaches, Fibromyalgia, and Other Chronic Conditions”. After studying Dr. Johnsons breakthrough techniques we have finally been able to help people with Fibromyalgia and many other chronic symptoms.


It is Really That Simple!?

For most people the answer is really that simple: Oxygen Enhanced Brain-Based Therapy and BioMedical Nutrition.

How Does This Work?

You are probably wondering what is this treatment going to be like? I can tell you from watching patients and staff participate in the treatments, that they are helpful and enjoyable.

Treatments can include gentle neurologically specific adjustments, simple exercises, eye exercises, heat and other activities, all while on oxygen. These techniques coupled with a full neurological and nutritional workup have enabled us to help most of our patients to get rid of their chronic symptoms no matter how long they have been experiencing them.

Imagine how different your life would be if you were free from the burdens that your fibromyalgia causes you.
