Fibromyalgia Therapy at CNS Center
What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals. Symptoms can range from mild to disabling and often overlap with sleep disorders, mood disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. While there’s no single cure, many people with fibromyalgia significantly improve with the right combination of treatments and lifestyle strategies.
Common Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Symptoms vary but frequently include:
Widespread pain or muscle tenderness
Chronic fatigue and low stamina
Brain fog / trouble concentrating and remembering
Non-restorative sleep or insomnia
Headaches and dizziness
Sensitivity to light, noise, or temperature
Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
Stiffness, especially in the morning
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, a thorough neurological evaluation can help rule out other causes and guide a personalized treatment plan.
Diagnostic Precision
Stop Guessing. Treat the Root Cause. Effective pain relief starts with an accurate diagnosis. Unlike general pain clinics, CNS Center utilizes advanced EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies to pinpoint the exact source of your pain—whether it is nerve damage, muscle dysfunction, or spinal compression—before we begin treatment.
