Medical Overview

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.

Heightened sensory responses
Widespread pain patterns

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.
