Fibromyalgia

The main symptoms are recurring pain in different parts of the body.

Fibromyalgia (also known as fibromyalgia syndrome) is a controversial disease among experts and is particularly stressful for those affected. There is no consensus on its causes. The often late diagnosis can lead to uncertainty and frustration on the part of patients. Patients often suffer from a lack of acceptance from those around them and repeatedly encounter a lack of understanding.
And this despite the fact that, according to current studies, up to 2% of the population in Germany suffer from fibromyalgia. This makes it one of the most common pain disorders of all.

The main symptoms are recurring pain in different parts of the body. In severe cases, the entire body can also be affected by pain (chronic widespread pain). The high intensity of pain also leads to states of exhaustion and fatigue as a result of chronic sleep deprivation. Sensory disturbances and gastrointestinal complaints are also not uncommon.

Our expertise lies first and foremost in the rapid diagnosis of fibromyalgia based on the latest scientific findings. Our therapy is a mosaic of individually coordinated, interlocking components from the areas of drug therapy, movement and physical therapy forms and psychological support.

Our aim is to achieve lasting pain relief and a sustainable improvement in your quality of life.
