Alternative Fibromyalgia Therapies - Alleviate Pain and Inflammation Naturally
Fibromyalgia is a mysterious disease that is effecting more and
more people, as increasing numbers of patients are being
diagnosed with this disorder. What is fibromyalgia, and what are
some alterative therapies and treatments for this often-times
debilitating disease?
Fibromyalgia is defined as a chronic musculoskeletal disorder
with symptoms of widespread and persistent muscle and soft
tissue pain, fatigue, and tenderness in several key points of
the body such as the neck, shoulders and hips. Fatigue is often
present in the more severe cases of fibromyalgia, and the degree
of pain also depends on the severity of the disorder in the
individual.
Fibromyalgia can be caused by stress, muscle injury or overusage
of the muscles. Alternative therapies for fibromyalgia are being
perfected as we speak, and there are some promising therapies
and treatments in development now that can really help improve
people's lives.
There are many traditional and alternative therapies prescribed
to treat fibromyalgia. They range from traditional treatment
with NSAID's (a powerful prescription pain killer which inhibits
pain-triggering chemicals from releasing in one's body and
reduces swelling which often contributes to pain) and other anti
inflammatories, to magnet therapy, physical and massage therapy,
and herbal treatments.
One of the best lifestyle changes for fibromyalgia patients is
moderate movement. It is imperative to feed the muscles of the
body oxygen by keeping the blood flowing and circulating
constantly. This will help reduce any swelling, hence reducing
pain, as well as provide the necessary nutrients (oxygen and
blood circulation) to your muscles that they need to function
properly, and to heal themselves.
Be sure to
incorporate adequate amounts of minerals such as
zinc, magnesium and calcium in your diet. These minerals are
indirectly responsible for the health and oxygen absorption of
your major muscles. Adequate amounts of these minerals, like
exercise, will help ensure adequate oxygen delivery to the
muscles. Not only that, this helps offset any type of fatigue
caused by the disorder.
Also be sure to get plenty of antioxidants in your diet.
Antioxidants help destroy free radicals, which are often
responsible for the destruction and aging of tissue, including
the muscle tissue. Antioxidants are found in abundance in dark
leafy green vegetables and brightly colored fruits and
vegetables like peppers and oranges.
In addition to these lifestyle guidelines, you may also want to
try a good herbal pain control remedy in order to manage
fibromyalgia flare ups, or as a supplement to your diet in order
to reduce daily pain. Formulated with the right combination of
botanical and herbal compounds, the right herbal fibromyalgia
pain reducer will reduce the pain naturally, without the
undesirable, sometimes addictive, and health threatening side
effects of common prescribed anti-inflammatories for
fibromyalgia. As a supplemental therapy, it can prove to be a
huge benefit in fibormyalgia patient's lives.
