Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia
has become increasingly common in the twenty-first century,
affecting an estimated 4 to 8 million Americans—90% of those being
women. Fibromyalgia (also known a fibrositis or
fybromyositis) is a complex condition
characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and
multiple tender points that occur in precise, localized areas—particularly in the neck,
spine, shoulders and hips. Symptoms may include fatigue, sleep
disturbances, tingling and numbness, morning stiffness, headaches,
anxiety/depression, dry eyes and mouth, hyper-sensitivity,
dizziness, memory / concentration
problems, digestive problems and flu-like
symptoms. Max Well
understand fibromyalgia and have developed a program that gets
results. Our patients have reported a
75-100% improvement in overall function, with pain levels dramatically decreasing;
strength, flexibility and endurance increasing; and more restful
sleep. Some of our patients' testimonials include: “I
never thought I would ever feel this good
again!” “The exercise program and
therapy really made a
difference.” “I can exercise again without
exacerbating my fibromyalgia.” “I can now get
good sleep at night.”
Dear Max Well: My
muscles had been hurting extremely bad for the past 2 years or
so. I have been through everything, even physical
therapy. My doctor suggested Max Well because another
fibromyalgia patient of his had only great things to say about
it. Due to my past experience with physical therapy, I was
less than excited to come. My previous physical therapy had
hurt me more than help me so I figured Max Well would just be a
waste of my time as well. My first day wasn't as bad as I
thought. My hopes grew and my attitude changed. I
decided I would give Max Well a chance. Throughout my time
spent at Max Well, I learned so much about my body. I have
completely fixed my posture and learned what muscles I needed to
strengthen. Everyone involved at Max Well was exceptionally
nice and always ready to engage in conversation. The ultra
sounds and other numerous relaxing techniques used helped my aching
muscles tremendously, and some of the techniques I can use in the
future. My frequent headaches are for the most part gone, and
my muscle pain is almost nonexistent. Max Well, by far,
exceeded my expectations. I would never hesitate to
recommend Max Well Physical Therapy to anyone. Megan M. 4/26/2006 |
