Fibromyalgia: It’s good to see some quality research coming out on the treatment of this unpleasant and life-sapping condition.

It should come as no surprise to anybody with a long-term involvement in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture that the therapy performs very well indeed as compared with pharmaceuticals such as Amitryptaline.

What I would add though, is that a patient’s expectations should be geared towards a course of treatment, rather than any ‘quick fix’. There just aren’t any quick fixes for this! I am also a keen advocate of mixing Acupuncture with deep tissue massage for Fibromyalgia – the Chinese Tui Na massage I practice is perfect for the job, although Sports Injury Massage would also work well.

Another potential benefit of Acupuncture, not really detailed in the article, is that it helps tremendously with the ‘roller coaster’ of emotional fallout that Fibromyalgia can often bring on. In my experience this is very bit as important as dealing with the pain and exhaustion that the condition inevitably brings with it.

Acupuncture produces fibromyalgia, according to independent research.
