What is Fibromyalgia?Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that leads to widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and bones throughout the body. It is often accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, and problems with memory and mood. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is still not fully understood, but researchers believe it may stem from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. It is thought to involve an abnormal response to pain signals in the brain and nervous system, resulting in heightened sensitivity to various stimuli. How can acupuncture help?While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, acupuncture can help manage its symptoms. Acupuncture may alleviate pain, muscle tension, and stiffness associated with the condition. Additionally, it can improve sleep quality and help regulate mood. At Zamora Acupuncture, we recognize that fibromyalgia can be debilitating and significantly impact daily life. Conveniently located in North Scottsdale, Dr. Zamora specializes in drug-free pain management and is eager to help improve your quality of life! What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?Acupuncture treatment for fibromyalgia begins with an initial consultation, where Dr. Zamora will discuss your medical history, specific symptoms, and any concerns you may have. During this session, she will assess your overall wellness and tailor the treatment to your individual needs. The acupuncture session itself will take place in a calm and relaxing environment. You'll be asked to lie down comfortably and Dr. Zamora will then insert thin, sterile needles into specific points on your body. These points are chosen based on traditional acupuncture principles and your particular symptoms. The needles are left in place for about 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, you may feel a slight tingling or warmth as the needles stimulate your body. Many patients find the experience soothing and may even fall asleep during the treatment. Afterward, Dr. Zamora may suggest additional lifestyle changes, exercises, or therapies to complement the acupuncture and further help manage your fibromyalgia symptoms. The frequency of treatments can vary, but many people benefit from regular sessions to maintain symptom relief, improve sleep quality, and foster a better mood. Overall, acupuncture can offer a safe and effective way to help manage the pain and discomfort associated with fibromyalgia, promoting an improved quality of life.
