Mind-Body Therapies Relieve Fibromyalgia Symptoms

FIBROMYALGIA is a syndrome characterized by painful stiffness in the muscles at the end of the tendon, particularly on the back and neck area. More severe the pain will be felt if the patient did not undertake anything. Pain is reduced when the patient do activities.

The patient wants fibromyaligia reduced pain and sleep soundly, many people have tried alternative treatments for fibromyalgia. A year later, the researchers found be some solid facts, mind-body therapies in the healing process fibromyolgia can help ease the pain. Other alternative treatments may work for some people, but few scientists that prove the success of such treatments. Other therapies sometimes not suitable for people with fibromyalgia.

Mind-body therapy is a method of treatment with the alignment between the body and mind. Similar to meditation or yoga, but when done correctly, can reduce the pain that often comes whack. 

In addition to mind-body therapies, according to Birgit Rakel, MD, Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia as quoted by WebMD site says you can try other alternatives. Acupuncture, treatment with massage, meditation, biofeedback (a therapy to control their bodily functions that normally can not be consciously controlled, such as blood pressure or heart rate) and homeopathy. Therapy is also as good as specific vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements. Therapy is the best alternative treatment for fibromyalgia sufferers. 

As for herbal medicines, Rakel recommends a product called Zyflamed supplement. the product contains ginger, turmeric, green tea, rosemary, oregano and basil. "For some people, these supplements can reduce pain in fibromyalgia," says Rakel. Zyflamed sold at the counter or natural health stores that sell vitamins or maybe you can get it at pharmacies. 

But still used at doses that have been determined. Consult with your doctor before taking them. Some herbal remedies can affect other medications that you are living. 

Nutrients needed for people with fibromyalgia, Rakel suggest running Intravenous therapy (IV). Namely nutritional formula that contains magnesium, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B complex and niacin. One study showed that patients with fibromyalgia who received a mixture nutrition through IV therapy once a week for eight weeks significantly reduces pain and fatigue - and increased energy after undergoing therapy.  

Chiropractic Manipulation (CM) can also be used as one method of treatment of fibromyalgia. CM is typically used for back pain, and some studies have found that this method can reduce the pain. But some say the CM clinical trials showed no effectiveness in the healing process back and neck pain. 

The cause of fibromyalgia is not yet known with certainty. The researchers found high rates of neural response, called substance P, and nervous system growth factors in spinal fluid from patients fibromyalgia. Fluid on the brain serotonin is also relatively low in patients with fibromyalgia. 

The study of fibromyalgia say that the central nervous system of the brain can be very sensitive. The researchers note that there is a misperception that has spread among people with fibromyalgia. 

Patients with fibromyalgia also very weak on the mechanisms of eye movement, sleep habits (which is usually after waking is characterized by fatigue and not feeling refreshed). Fibromyalgia attacks included into the category of psychological distress, trauma and inflammation.
