Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It affects millions worldwide, but in India, the condition remains significantly underreported and often misdiagnosed. Studies suggest that 2–8% of the population may be affected, yet many cases go unrecognized due to a lack of awareness.
At Plexus Pain & Spine Center, we are committed to increasing awareness and providing specialized, effective care for those living with fibromyalgia. Through our advanced, minimally invasive treatments, we help patients find relief and regain their quality of life.
These targeted injections help relieve muscle knots and tender points often associated with fibromyalgia. By delivering pain-relieving medication directly into affected areas, we can significantly reduce localized pain and improve mobility.
An innovative pharmacological option, LDN helps regulate immune responses and reduce central nervous system inflammation. It has shown promise in improving pain, fatigue, and sleep in fibromyalgia patients.
This minimally invasive technique uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate peripheral nerves, disrupting abnormal pain signals and offering significant relief from chronic, widespread pain.
Customized intravenous nutrient therapy can help address fatigue, brain fog, and nutrient deficiencies often seen in fibromyalgia patients—improving energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.
Our expert physiotherapists and wellness coaches work with you to gently improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance through guided exercise, posture training, and relaxation techniques—while also managing fatigue and flare-ups.
We incorporate cognitive behavioral strategies and, where necessary, medication to enhance sleep quality, manage stress, and reduce the impact of fibromyalgia on your daily life.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and tenderness in specific areas of the body. It is often associated with symptoms like headaches, memory issues, and mood changes.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it’s believed to involve abnormal pain processing by the brain and spinal cord. Genetics, infections, physical or emotional trauma, and stress may all play a role in triggering or worsening fibromyalgia symptoms.
People with fibromyalgia commonly experience widespread muscle pain, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, "fibro fog" (cognitive issues), headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome. Symptoms can vary in intensity and may flare up under stress, physical activity, or other triggers.
Fibromyalgia diagnosis is primarily based on symptom history and physical examination. At Plexus, we assess pain patterns, conduct a thorough evaluation of symptoms, and may use lab tests to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.
While no specific diet is proven to cure fibromyalgia, a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins may help reduce symptom flares and improve overall well-being. Avoiding processed foods and sugars may also help some individuals
Treatment focuses on symptom relief and may include medications for pain and sleep, physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and counseling. At Plexus, we offer a holistic approach to fibromyalgia, which may involve medications, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques to help manage pain and improve quality of life.
