Living with fibromyalgia can feel overwhelming. This chronic condition affects millions of people and is often marked by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, tender points, and sleep disturbances. At Twin Acupuncture, we are dedicated to providing holistic, natural solutions to help patients find relief and improve their quality of life.
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that gently stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points, acupuncture encourages balance, reduces pain, and promotes relaxation. For many people with fibromyalgia, this can lead to less daily discomfort, better sleep, and greater overall well-being.
How Acupuncture Helps with Fibromyalgia
- Pain Reduction: Calms overactive pain signals and reduces tender point sensitivity.
- Improved Sleep: Encourages deeper, restorative rest that is often disrupted by fibromyalgia.
- Less Fatigue: Helps rebalance energy systems to decrease exhaustion.
- Stress Relief: Reduces tension, anxiety, and emotional stress that can worsen symptoms.
- Whole-Body Support: Improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports mental clarity.
Each treatment is tailored to your unique needs so you can feel supported every step of the way.
