Fibromyalgia-Type Chronic Pain
Fibromyalgia involves central sensitization and widespread pain. We investigate mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient gaps, sleep disorders, and neuroinflammation.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cognitive difficulties, and heightened pain sensitivity.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Central sensitization, mitochondrial dysfunction, magnesium and CoQ10 deficiency, sleep disorders, and past trauma.
Functional Evaluation
Organic acids for mitochondrial markers, micronutrient levels, thyroid, inflammatory markers, cortisol, and sleep assessment.
Treatment Approach
Mitochondrial support (CoQ10, D-ribose, magnesium), low-dose naltrexone, gentle exercise, sleep optimization, and anti-inflammatory diet.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for new neurological symptoms, sudden severe pain changes, or signs of another condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for root causes using advanced testing and personalized protocols that address gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors.
What kind of testing does functional medicine use?
Common tests include comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity panels, organic acids testing, micronutrient panels, hormone profiles, and advanced inflammatory markers.
How long does a functional medicine plan take to work?
Most patients notice improvements within four to twelve weeks. Complex or long-standing conditions may take several months of targeted support.
Does insurance cover functional medicine testing?
Some labs are covered by insurance. We review options beforehand so there are no surprises.
Can I do functional medicine alongside my current treatment?
