Fibromyalgia

Aside from injury and structural pain, Dr. Sydney has also studied fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is pain throughout the entire body and diagnosed through specific trigger points. It is very debilitating for some individuals. It is a condition that requires patience and a practitioner who is well informed. Through her studies, Dr. Sydney has found fibromyalgia to be best treated through a combined use of referred CBT therapy and acupuncture. Fibromyalgia is a condition still unknown to some medical practitioners. We encourage the discussion, to make it more well known and for individuals who feel they may be suffering to continue their search for the right team of doctors to assist them and not give up. Dr. Sydney is here to answer questions and assist.

"I am grateful to see fibromyalgia receiving attention and extensive research. I wanted to give my own support to this condition through education and writing papers. My patients suffering with fibromyalgia have noticed an increase in their livelihood; less pain, significant stress reduction, increased mobility, less inflammation and are able to more easily recognize their triggers. I am very excited to see studies continue for this condition." -Dr. Sydney.
