Chronic Pain Management – Fibromyalgia in Toronto
Living with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions can be overwhelming. Symptoms often affect the entire body, making it challenging to perform even simple daily tasks, let alone participate in activities you enjoy most.
Our approach to pain management focuses on a holistic method that addresses not only physical symptoms but also psychological and social factors.
Understanding Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition characterized by widespread discomfort, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to discomfort. Chronic pain is now understood through the biopsychosocial model, which highlights three primary influences: physical, psychological, and social.
This model explains why pain is persistent for many people, even when the body itself may not be the direct cause. Pain perception may stem from brain signals, body sensitivity, or external stressors, making the experience of discomfort highly individual.
The Role of Holistic Care
For conditions like fibromyalgia, a singular treatment approach may not be enough. Our clinic provides a multidisciplinary team, including osteopathic care, naturopathic doctors, and referrals for psychological support, to address every aspect of chronic pain. By combining physical treatments with mental health support, we can help clients manage discomfort from multiple angles, aiming for long-term relief.
Resources for Managing Your Discomfort
Our clinic also recommends tools like the Curable app, designed to help clients reframe pain experiences through a combination of psychological and social support. Apps like these use evidence-based methods to help clients change their relationship with pain, addressing underlying mental and social factors that may contribute to physical symptoms.
