Understanding Fibromyalgia
A complex chronic pain condition affecting millions worldwide. Our multidisciplinary team provides evidence-based treatment to help you regain control of your life.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localised areas.
Central Sensitisation
The nervous system becomes hypersensitive, amplifying pain signals and causing normal sensations to be perceived as painful.
Chronic Nature
A long-term condition that requires ongoing management and a comprehensive treatment approach for optimal outcomes.
Treatable Condition
While there's no cure, effective treatments can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life for most patients.
Common Symptoms
Fibromyalgia presents with a constellation of symptoms that can vary in intensity and impact between individuals.
Chronic, deep aching pain affecting multiple areas of the body, often described as burning, stabbing, or shooting sensations.
Profound exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest, often accompanied by non-restorative sleep patterns.
Cognitive difficulties including problems with concentration, memory, and mental clarity affecting daily tasks and work performance.
