Consistency is crucial in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Incorrect diagnosis can lead to treatment for a different illness, resulting in unnecessary medication burden, additional problems, and chronic fibromyalgia. Continuously changing doctors, interrupting treatment, and searching for different therapies also negatively impact fibromyalgia treatment. Maintaining consistent treatment is especially important, as fibromyalgia is manageable with medication.

In addition to medication, fibromyalgia patients need to make lifestyle changes. A stress-free, regular life, balanced nutrition, and regular sleep are key components of successful treatment. Without adequate rest, the body will overreact to even minor daily events.

The most important principle in fibromyalgia treatment is patient-physician collaboration. Personalized treatment options may include one or a combination of PRP therapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and exercise programs. Recently, PRP therapy has become easier to use to eliminate fibrocytes (painful muscle nodules), the root cause of fibromyalgia. Some physical therapy options, which may vary depending on the individual, include:

Regional Injections,
Ozone Therapy,
Electrotherapy Applications (TENS, Ultrasound Therapy, Interferential Currents, Biofeedback, HVGS),
Thermal Agents,
Tissue Massage,
Classical Massage,
Stretching and Relaxation Training,
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma),
Nerve Therapy,
Prolotherapy,
Manipulation.
