FIBROMYALGIA PAIN DOCTORS

Our fibromyalgia doctors at Spine and Wellness Centers of America use evidence-based fibromyalgia treatments to treat chronic widespread pain due to sensory processing of pain signals using Non-Surgical or Minimally Invasive pain relief techniques backed by science.
Fibromyalgia (also known as Fibrositis) is very common and causes hard to diagnose, yet widespread muscle pain and tenderness due to sensory processing and/or stress. Those diagnosed with fibromyalgia have an increase in painful sensations due to the way their brain processes pain signals. For this reason, a traumatic past with emotional abuse or physical abuse raises your chances of developing fibromyalgia, as does stress.
Fibromyalgia is often called the invisible disease. Pain from fibromyalgia feels as though it originates in the muscles, but there are no signs of damage to the tissues. Patients may have sought treatment in the past only to feel unheard and leave frustrated. People with fibromyalgia are more sensitive than others to stimuli that cause pain or to the feeling of pain.
As there is no definitive diagnostic test, biomarker or physical exam to ensure the presence of fibromyalgia. The patient will need a set of diagnostic tests to rule other disorders and diseases out and ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Fibromyalgia is not an autoimmune disorder and therefore test results showing inflammation will result in non-diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. There are many other conditions with similar symptoms of augmented pain. For instance, patients with lupus feel joint pain, have swelling and stiffness. Patients with peripheral neuropathy or multiple sclerosis, for example, may experience many of the same symptoms.
If you suffer from any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to contact Spine and Wellness Centers of America today so we can get started on a patient-centered pain profile to accurately diagnose your unique pain.
