Physical Therapy for Fibromyalgia?

Orthopedic & Spine Therapy of Waupaca


Q : Is there anything physical therapy can do for fibromyalgia?
A : Fibromyalgia patients often get good relief from their chronic muscular and neurological symptoms with physical therapy. Specially trained manual therapists have unique techniques allowing them to properly stretch the involved muscles as well as performing myofascial techniques to help alleviate the neural tension and chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia. Manual therapists are also trained to evaluate the mechanical dysfunctions of the spine that can be leading to the chronic muscle tightnesses and fascial restrictions. Exercise is also an important component to this disease and a trained physical therapist can properly design a program for you.
