Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain and tenderness in the head, shoulders, upper back, thighs, abdomen, and muscle pain of the limbs. Fibromyalgia patients also often have headaches, fatigue & depression. The cause of the condition is unknown. The majority of fibromyalgia sufferers are women between the ages of 34 and 56.
At Irvine Acupuncture we complete a full evaluation of your medical history in order to adequately determine what imbalances are present. Since most fibromyalgia patients also have fatigue, anxiety or depression and sleeping problems, our treatments are always geared towards treating those symptoms as well.
