Let Us Help You Reduce Fibromyalgia Pain
Pain Should Never Be A Dead End – iMove PT Can Help
Fibromyalgia has long been a diagnosis indicating a patient with multiple areas of muscular tenderness or trigger points. It is often accompanied by fatigue, poor sleeping patterns, memory and mood issues.
Recent research demonstrates the likely role of central sensitization with fibromyalgia. In central sensitization, the entire central nervous system becomes sensitized to certain stimuli. Central sensitization may also be involved in certain aspects of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Fibromyalgia: What Is It?
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome affecting around 5% of all people worldwide, especially women over 50. This chronic illness is characterized by generalized chronic musculoskeletal pain (i.e., more than three months) with highly sensitive (hyperalgesia) tender points in the body.
Despite extensive research, at this point, no definite cause or pathophysiology for FM has yet been discovered. Some medical experts believe it may be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system – the body’s reaction to stress. As people usually develop their first fibromyalgia symptoms after experiencing a physically or emotionally traumatic event, this theory makes sense, but it has never been scientifically proven.
In most cases, people with FM have psychosomatic symptoms, including:
- Fatigue
- Sleep disturbances (waking unrefreshed)
- Anxiety and depression
- Cognitive dysfunction (brain fog)
- Headaches
- Gastrointestinal disorders
People with fibromyalgia usually report a reduction or loss of functional capacity and a lower quality of life.
