Personalized Care for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a dynamic and multifactorial condition that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain. By definition, and diagnostic criteria, the pain in Fibromyalgia cannot be explained by any other underlying condition or diagnosis.

At Medic Health, our goal is to personalize and deliver targeted care for patients suffering with Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia Screening Questions

If you think your symptoms are related or due to Fibromyalgia, please take a moment to answer the following questions from the Fibromyalgia Rapid Screening Tool (FIRST):

  1. Pain all over the body?
  2. Pain is accompanied by a continuous and very unpleasant general fatigue?
  3. Pain feels like burns, electric shocks, or cramps?
  4. Pain is accompanied by other unusual sensations throughout the body such as pins and needles, tingling or numbness?
  5. Pain is accompanied by other health problems such as digestive problems, urinary problems, headaches, or restless legs?
  6. Pain has a significant impact on activities of daily life, particularly on sleep, and the ability to concentrate making you feel slow or like having a “mental fog”?

If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more of the above questions, there is a probability that your symptoms are related to Fibromyalgia. Further evaluation and assessments are needed to establish the diagnosis more accurately.

At Medic Health, we will thoroughly evaluate your condition and offer you personalized treatments.

  • INITIAL EVALUATION- Includes questionnaires, physical evaluation and assessment, and labs (Blood work). See Wellness package.
  • COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLAN- Evidence based therapies, and ongoing support including symptom management and medication prescription.
  • NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING– Evaluation of nutritional habits and dietary recommendations to promote natural healing and to reduce inflammation.
  • ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE– Stretching and exercise prescription to increase mobility and functionality to strengthen the tendons, muscles and bones.
  • SLEEP – Screening for common sleep related disorders. Intervention and referrals (sleep study, CPAP, etc)
  • MENTAL HEALTH – We offer therapeutic modalities to train your brain on how to process chronic pain signals as “safe” signals. We also provide screening, early intervention and management for any existing mood disorder (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD). This include referrals to more specialized treatment such as Cognitive behavioral therapy or Psychiatric care.
  • SUPPLEMENTAL THERAPIES-  The treatment plan may also include one or more of the following treatments to improve Fibromyalgia symptoms and accelerate recovery:
  • Non surgical Vertebral Decompression Therapy (Lumbar and Cervical) using the DRX-9000 if concurrent back pain or back conditions are present.
  • Ketamine Infusion treatment for management of chronic pain and mood.
  • PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT- Prescriptions for non-narcotic (non-addictive) medications might be prescribed for a certain period of time to control Fibromyalgia symptoms while active treatment is ongoing.
  • OPIATE MEDICATION HELP- We offer help with tapering off narcotic pain prescriptions using FDA approved medications with lower habit forming potential to help patients depend less on opioids for pain treatment. We also offer ketamine infusion treatment which has been shown to reduce the dependance and the dosage of narcotic prescriptions.
