Treatment for Fibromyalagia
Publish Date : 3/29/2005 6:26:00 AM   Source : Serious Diseases Chronic Pain, Diabetes, HeartCare

Unfortunately, some of the physicians will tell you that there is no cure for the disease called fibromyalgia. But recent developments have shown that there is some cure available for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Know different therapies that could be helpful;
1.  Spinal Disk Surgery: 
As fibromyalgia is caused by one or more painful intervertebral disks in the cervical or lumbar region of the spine the physicians are using surgical treatments to reduce the number of tender points. These treatments are being done at the Tupelo Pain Clinic in Mississippi, where they are trying out an aggressive surgical procedure for spinal pain and fibromyalgia. One of these procedures is disk fusion, a procedure that joins bones in the spine. The procedure has been successful in many patients, however it tends to limit mobility and can backfire- causing more back pain if not successful. They are currently tracking 300 patients who have fibromyalgia related to a disk problem in the neck or the lower back.

2. Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is also a good hope for the sufferers of fibromyalgia. Those who get the treatment shows improvement in well-being and also less morning stiffness. The study did not look into the length of time the improvements lasted following the procedures. The final analysis, to date, is that the limited amount of high-quality evidence does imply that real acupuncture is more effective than sham acupuncture for improving the symptoms in FMS patients.
3.  Exercise
Exercise has been shown to be very beneficial for some people with FMS. For others it was just another painful experience that did not have a big enough payoff to continue with it. Even aerobics have also been helpful, but it should be done under the guidance of a qualified trainer or physician.
4. Hypnosis
Hypnosis has been used with some success in FM patients that are susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.(Not everyone can be hypnotized!) It has been used in the medical field for pre and post operative pain relief, and even in the delivery room for childbirth.
Try any of these methods, hope any of these could be helpful to you.
