Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by tiredness, all over pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, and multiple tender areas on your body - places on your body where even the slightest pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men (9 out of 10 patients are women).

The Mayo clinic offers multiple causes for Fibromyalgia:

1. Chemical changes in the brain.

2. Sleep disturbances.

3. Injury.

4. Infection.

5. Abnormalities of the autonomic (sympathetic) nervous system.

6. Changes in muscle metabolism.

The approach to people suffering with Fibromyalgia should be very well-rounded, complete and personalized. The ideal situation is a three-level approach, which includes foundationally the central nervous system, exercise and diet / nutrition. The most powerful way to improve the nervous system and its connection and control over the body is through the Biocranial system of healthcare. This is very effective in balancing both brain and full body function.

Special studies have shown that something appears to be wrong with the way the central nervous system processes painful stimuli in Fibromyalgia patients.

Level One - The Adrenal Glands:

Intimately involved with the central nervous system, the adrenal glands are an essential part of the hormone system. The tiredness / fatigue that occurs with Fibromyalgia can be associated with Adrenal gland fatigue.

Level Two - Exercise:

The second level is exercise. It may sound rigorous and impossible, but exercise is essential. It may only be a small stretch, or possibly breathing exercises, but it is very important. The exercise routines can be individualized for each person.

Level Three - Diet and Nutrition:

The last and final area is quite exciting. Most people know that diet can play a role in Fibromyalgia. The secret is to make targeted, progressive changes in the diet so people will be willing to say "I can do that." Since Fibromyalgia is also known to be a multi-organ system problem, it is useful to use a scanning technology called Meridian Stress Assessment. It provides a full body scan showing which organ systems are out of balance and gives specific protocols (nutrient & herb based) to bring them back into balance with no side effects.

There are very specialized assessment tools to determine the status of your nervous system called Heart Rate Variability. And the core of healing is your nervous system. Foundationally, if the nervous system is out of balance, you cannot function well and life is not as much fun as it could be.
