UNDERSTANDING FIBROMYALGIA: A Holistic Approach to Chronic Pain and Fatigue: Natural solutions to a misunderstood condition. Are you suffering from fatigue, depression, continuing aches and pains, and sleeplessness? Workshop participants will gain an understanding of the causes of this syndrome. Learn non-drug solutions. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), approximately 3.7 million Americans have Fibromyalgia. That is 1 in every 73 people. Fibromyalgia is the second most common rheumatic ailment after osteoarthritis (American College of Rheumatology). Far from being a “waste-basket” diagnosis for an unknown condition, Fibromyalgia is a symptom of overall poor health. The pharmaceutical companies are now profiting from this condition with the introduction of new drugs to “treat” it, including the newest antidepressant-class drug called Savella®. This prescription drug will bear the same “black box warning” as other antidepressants regarding the increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents and young adults. It joins the ranks of other drugs, ie: Lyrica®, which has previously been used in the treatment of seizures and for pain due to Diabetes-induced nerve damage, as well as Cymbalta®, which was previously used to treat depression, anxiety and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). Unfortunately, these dangerous drugs are the only “known” solution to Fibromyalgia sufferers. This PowerPoint presentation will educate your audience on how a holistic approach which encompasses nutrition, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes such as stress reduction, detoxification and natural healthcare, will help them manage this condition and return them to a healthier, happier lifestyle. "From the last three Fibromyalgia workshops I have done, I signed up 52 people. The presentation is awesome and the material is extremely informative. I’ve gotten nothing but positive feedback from all who attend." —Brian Hymewitz, Lumberton, NJ.

Your audience will learn: The definition of the term ‘Fibromyalgia’. Detailed statistical information about Fibromyalgia. The symptoms, Trigger Point Therapy and treatment options available. Alternative methods for addressing Fibromyalgia and chronic pain symptoms through chiropractic adjustments.
