If you’re one of the millions of Americans living with chronic pain, you know firsthand how difficult it can be to manage. But if your pain is accompanied by widespread tenderness and fatigue, you may be one of the estimated 10 million people in the US with fibromyalgia. At Vortex Health, we help you manage your symptoms without relying on addictive opioids or other medications with personalized fibromyalgia treatment in Lubbock.

The Condition

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread pain and tenderness throughout the body, often accompanied by sleep disturbances, headaches, and mood changes. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, it is believed to be related to how the brain processes pain signals. Since there is no known cure for fibromyalgia, treatment focuses on managing symptoms through lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and other non-pharmacological interventions.

Potential Causes:

  • Abnormal pain processing: People with fibromyalgia may have a heightened sensitivity to pain due to changes in how their brains process pain signals.
  • Genetics: Fibromyalgia tends to run in families, so certain genetic factors may play a role.
  • Infections: Some infections, such as Lyme disease or hepatitis C, may trigger fibromyalgia.
  • Physical or emotional trauma: Physical or emotional trauma, such as a car accident or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can trigger the onset of fibromyalgia.
  • Sleep disturbances: Sleep disturbances, including sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome, may be associated with fibromyalgia.
  • Hormonal imbalances: Changes in hormonal levels, such as those that occur during menopause, may trigger fibromyalgia.
