Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease in which pain spreads throughout the body, traveling from muscle to muscle, from tissue to tissue, leaving behind fatigue, stiffness, sleep disturbances, and a feeling of "fog in the head." And although a person has no visible signs of the disease, their body hurts . This pain sometimes subsides, then comes back in waves, without a clear logic or reason.
In the world, fibromyalgia is one of the most common reasons for visiting a rheumatologist. But in our country, it is a diagnosis that is often overlooked or not recognized. It is confused with rheumatism, neurasthenia, depression, osteochondrosis. Because of this, patients receive ineffective treatment for years and are left alone with pain that the medical system is not ready to see.
More and more studies confirm: fibromyalgia has a powerful psychosomatic component. It often occurs after prolonged chronic stress, psychological trauma, emotional exhaustion. When a person is constantly in a state of "internal mobilization", his nervous system loses its ability to regulate. The number of inflammatory mediators increases, the balance of neurotransmitters changes, and pain mechanisms are activated, even without physical tissue damage.
The body, tired of emotional pain, begins to speak through the body. And this “voice” is pain, stiffness, sleep problems, depressed mood, a feeling of unreality or blurred thoughts (what is called “fibro fog” ).
Because fibromyalgia is not a fictional pain. It is a pain that has psychological roots and a neurophysiological explanation. Excessive amounts of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, contribute to chronic pain, and it is its receptors that ketamine blocks. That is why ketamine infusion therapy has shown a powerful effect in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
But the key to sustainable improvement is a comprehensive approach. A combination of psychotherapy, bodywork, and innovative techniques allows not only to reduce pain, but also to return a person to life.
We individually select therapy for each patient, taking into account their physical, mental and social characteristics. In our experience, the best results are achieved by a combination of:
Psychotherapy - helps to process psychological trauma, learn new strategies for coping with stress, and change unconscious patterns of behavior.
Ketamine infusions — reduce pain intensity, help with prolonged stress, and affect the glutamate system of the brain.
Transcranial electrical stimulation (TEC) - improves sleep, reduces anxiety, and affects pain centers.
Neurohelp brain rehabilitation restores the functionality of neural networks damaged by chronic stress.
Body-oriented therapy - helps you "return" to your body, feel and release accumulated tension.
Kinesiotherapy - through gentle, adaptive movement, the body gradually regains confidence in itself.
For 20 years she lived with pain. Years spent in hospitals, courses of medication, vain hopes. The feeling that her body had betrayed her. Added to this was depression - because when you don't sleep for years and you are in pain, even the little things become unbearable. But after the course at the Expio clinic, she felt for the first time in a decade: life can be different. Her review is on our website.
Lyubov Aleksandrovna tried to get rid of fibromyalgia (chronic pain syndrome) for twenty years. Unfortunately, it was ineffective, so she developed a depressive disorder. See her review of how the treatment course at the Expio clinic helped her.
Yuriy came to our center after a long period of ineffective treatment of chronic pain syndrome in other medical institutions and a depressive-anxiety disorder that developed against this background. After a course of ketamine psychotherapy and the use of our other methods, the patient not only got rid of the pain and mental disorder, but also improved his personality.
