Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that causes constant pain and distress in multiple and varied locations in the body but predominantly in the neck region, upper and middle back. It also results in trouble with memory, tiredness and sleeping problems. People also experience numbness, over sensitivity, aching tender joints, bowel problems, etc.
There are different symptoms shown by each individual hence the treatment is also done considering the signs shown by the patients. Physical therapy, massage sessions, acupuncture, psychotherapy, exercise and workout are some of the ways in which fibromyalgia is treated. Pain killer medication and mild antidepressants in low dose given by fibromyalgia doctor are also helpful in treating this medical condition.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is also beneficial in order to ward off negative thoughts and stimulate positive behaviour.

There is mystery behind the cause of fibromyalgia. However, genetics, degeneration, physical and mental trauma are some of the possible reasons that are considered to be the major causes behind fibromyalgia. Many a times, when doctors can’t find a specific source of a patient’s symptoms, it is loosely labelled under the fibromyalgia category. However, with the advancement in modern diagnostics, more and more such cases can be diagnosed properly and may actually turn out to be spine problems than fibromyalgia. Then these patients can be treated more specifically and surely.
