Understanding Fibromyalgia as a Chronic Pain Condition

  • Persistent Fatigue
  • Sleep Disturbances Concentration Difficulties (“Fibro Fog”)
  • Headaches

Common Fibromyalgia Treatment Plans

Here’s how our pain specialists can assist in alleviating your fibromyalgia symptoms:

#1. Comprehensive Evaluation & Diagnosis

Fibromyalgia can often go misdiagnosed due to symptoms that resemble other chronic pain conditions, so our North Dallas pain doctors in Rowlett, Sherman, Greenville and Forney, Texas conduct comprehensive medical history reviews, physical exams and lab testing in order to rule out alternative causes and confirm a diagnosis tailored specifically to you. This ensures your treatment plan can meet your individual needs.

#2. Tailored Fibromyalgia Pain Management Plans

We understand that no two patients are alike, which is why we create customized treatment strategies that may include:

  • Medication management: To address fibromyalgia pain and sleep issues, medication such as non-opioid pain relievers, nerve pain medications (like pregabalin or duloxetine ) or low dose antidepressants is an option to help.
  • Trigger point injections: Target localized areas of muscle tension and pain for relief.
  • Physical therapy referrals: For improving flexibility, strength, and reducing stiffness.
  • Lifestyle recommendations: Sleep hygiene, stress management and pacing strategies should all be part of a balanced approach to living.

#3. Advanced Interventional Pain Therapies

In certain instances, patients can benefit from interventional pain therapies like:

  • Nerve blocks may help to temporarily suppress pain signals.
  • Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may provide relief for patients experiencing persistent centralized pain that has not responded to traditional therapies.
  • IV therapy offers instant symptom relief and flare-up management.

These treatments are all offered at our cutting-edge pain clinics across North Dallas.

#4. Holistic and Supportive Care
