Naturopathic Medicine:

Naturopathically we would address toxin accumulation, imbalanced brain chemistry/low serotonin, sleep disturbances, infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or with the fungus Candida Albicans, food allergies, emotional stress, adrenal exhaustion, nutritional deficiencies, heavy metal toxicities and hypoglycemia.  All of these can cause or contribute to chronic fatigue and/or fibromyalgia.  They approach these problems from a root cause perspective, rather than just easing symptoms.

Chiropractic Care:

A potential factor in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome is a dysfunctional nervous system, where normal amounts of sensation on muscles are perceived as pain. Chiropractic helps regulate the neuro-musculoskeletal system, thus reducing the overall perception of pain. In addition, exercise and activity are often recommended which are shown to help decrease the symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Registered Massage Therapy:

Massage treatments can help reduce stress levels and pain in clients with fibromyalgia. Massage helps increase relaxation which in turn can help clients cope with anxiety and pain.
