Fibromyalgia Physiotherapy Edmonton

As humans, pain cannot be exempted but can only be minimized as much as possible when necessary safety practices are adopted at home, in the office or anywhere. Sometimes, we feel pain, soreness, or muscle tightness when doing activities like exercise or house chores. When we have pain, we mostly take pain-relieving medication like ibuprofen to help relieve it.

Some pain develops and spreads all over our bodies, but when we try using normal self-medication or prescribed pain-relieving drugs, this pain does not disappear but tends to persist for long and affects our everyday lives.

You may be having chronic pain together with mood swings, irregular sleep patterns, or fatigue. It might seem like a normal pain, but you may be suffering from a more physiological severe condition referred to as fibromyalgia.

If you have chronic pain together with some underlying symptoms, we urge you to contact Momentum Spine and Sports Physiotherapy Clinic to schedule an appointment with a professional from our clinic. We can assure you of quality treatment in order to relieve your pain and eliminate other symptoms.

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is used to describe a particular combination of symptoms affecting a person. Over the years, the exact cause of fibromyalgia has yet to be scientifically known, Still, some medical professionals have assumed it might result from an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This system is responsible for the body’s flight or fight response.

They further concluded that the first symptom of fibromyalgia is usually developed after a physical or emotionally traumatic event. However, this conclusion is yet to be scientifically backed. In some cases, before suffering from fibromyalgia, symptoms like chronic stress/depression frequently happen with other symptoms. However, it has been observed that families with a fibromyalgia history are liable to have this condition.  Also, women are more vulnerable to fibromyalgia than men.

What are the common symptoms of fibromyalgia?

Different factors can cause fibromyalgia. To know if you truly have this condition, visit a physician once you begin to notice these common symptoms;

• Nausea

You may have been prescribed certain pain medications/anti-depressants to manage your condition, but those medications can only develop a short-term solution. Even in most cases, pain-relieving medications are ineffective for chronic problems like fibromyalgia.

When you arrive at Momentum Spine and Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, your treatment session will comprise therapeutic exercise, pain-relieving modalities, and manual therapies.
