Reduce the pains and elevate your mood

With acupuncture, fibromyalgia pain can be significantly reduced in as 6 to 8 treatments at twice a week visit. It helps to reduce stress in the mind and body.

In addition, Chinese herbal medicine may be an important part of the improvement process. Total treatment is up to 3 or 4 months for an even more relief.

The goal at the beginning is to reduce pain. As you continue the treatments, the relief continues to improve. The accumulated benefits will allow your body to better self-regulate towards experiencing less pain on its own. The reason is that acupuncture instructs the body to help itself. Acupuncture relieves the stress and pain response in the brain. It also quiets down the abnormal physiology and helps it to move toward normal functioning. As a result, the nervous system can easily and automatically regulate itself.

Fibromyalgia (fibromyositis syndrome FMS) mostly affects women between 20-50 years of age. It is chronic, widespread, and severe. The characteristics are muscular aching, pain, stiffness, insomnia, fatigue, and depression.
