The latest research shows that fibromyalgia is a disruption in the way pain is processed by the brain. 1, 2 If you have fibromyalgia, and you are currently being managed by a physician, therapist, or other health care practitioner, how are they treating you for the disruption in central nervous system pain processing? I hope your health care provider can answer that question, otherwise, your treatment probably isn’t going to change this very important aspect of decreasing, and normalizing your response to a pain stimulus.
We use neurologically based therapy (NBT), that is focused on strengthening and building the neural networks of the brain. NBT works, because of a physiological concept called neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is the brains ability to strengthen and rewire the existing nerve networks inside and between different regions of the brain. We identify weak areas of the brain, and use specific therapies to stimulate and strengthen these areas. NBT, has proven clinically, to be very helpful in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome, and in the treatment of chronic pain in which states of central sensitization have been developed.
