Fibromyalgia and immune support

Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder that causes individuals to have pain in muscles, ligaments, joints, and fibrous tissues in the body. “Surveys suggest that 66% to 99% of patients with fibromyalgia are using at least one complementary therapy such as acupuncture […] because pharmacologic therapies provide insufficient relief of symptoms and are not curative” (Clarke, 2004)  Fibromyalgia symptoms that patients often experience:

• Fatigue 
• Weaken immune system 
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sleep disturbances 
• Pain 
• Muscle tightness/stiffness 
• Cognitive issues
• Digestive issues 
• Headaches

  Even though there is no cure for fibromyalgia, many people have experienced positive and effective results from acupuncture treatments that helped them in various ways such as improving well-being, the ability to function, and control pain management.
