Fibromyalgia Treatment
Fibromyalgia is a challenging and often misunderstood condition that involves chronic, widespread pain, and can impair mood and sleep, focus and energy. For some, it describes generalized pain throughout the body, while for others, it’s a label for overlapping pain syndromes in multiple areas. Guidelines recommend education, exercise and psychotherapy, and several drugs that are supported by are evidence and deserve a trial. Unfortunately, most sufferers continue to suffer more than they would like, living with reduced function and lower quality of life. At Dr. Richard Nahas’s clinic, fibromyalgia is treated with an innovative personalized approach that targets the root causes of pain using a system called Blockage-Based Care.
What Causes Fibromyalgia and Why Is It So Complex?
There is no single cause of fibromyalgia. Instead, it can be understood as a condition where the body’s regulatory systems, particularly the nervous system, and often the immune and hormonal systems are thrown off balance. This dysregulation can be triggered by a wide range of stressors, including physical injuries, chronic inflammation, infections, and emotional trauma.
Because every person’s history is different, fibromyalgia symptoms can be different in each individual. Dr. Richard Nahas focuses on building a personalized understanding of each patient’s life story and physical health based on their life history. Rather than treating pain as a symptom, he investigates where and why your body developed blockages that affected its ability to restore and maintain health, and his treatment helps get it started again.
The Personalized Body Map: A Clearer Picture of Your Pain
To identify and treat the sources of fibromyalgia-related pain, patients begin by completing a Personalized BodyMap. This powerful online tool lets you record your health history, pinpoint past injuries, surgeries, infections, and emotional events, and mark current pain or dysfunction. Many fibromyalgia patients find that this process finally helps them make sense of their symptoms, linking chronic pain to older, unresolved issues in the body.
The BodyMap enables Dr. Nahas and his team to see a unique, more complete picture of your health, helping them develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the areas your body may be holding tension or dysfunction, even if those areas aren’t where you currently feel pain.
A New Path Forward with Blockage-Based Care and Neural Therapy
Using insights from the BodyMap, Dr. Nahas applies a pioneering treatment model called Blockage-Based Care. This approach targets specific areas of tissue that have been injured in the past, whether through trauma, surgery, infection, or stress, which may now disrupt your body’s ability to function correctly.
One of the most effective therapies is Neural Therapy, a gentle, noninvasive injection technique that works to reset nerve function and restore balance to the nervous system. These targeted injections are guided by ultrasound and a specialized palpation method, allowing for precise delivery to the areas that need it most. In many cases, patients with fibromyalgia experience significant and immediate pain relief, sometimes for the first time in years. Some require only a few sessions, while others will benefit from ongoing treatment, giving them more good days and a dramatically better quality of life.
In addition to in-clinic therapies, Dr. Nahas encourages and teaches patients how to perform a series of simple stretching exercises, targeting their unique blockages, building body awareness, confidence, self-regulation and mindfulness. With decades of experience using functional medicine approaches, he can recommend specific therapies based on each patient’s unique needs. By combining medical expertise with integrative practices and a unique approach, patients will experience something that is consistently rational, always personalized, gentle, safe and completely new. You will not find this anywhere else. .
