Fibromyalgia

Transcript

1. Fibromyalgia is nota muscle disorder.
2. let me explain...
3. Pain is a sensation perceived only by your BRAIN
4. Pain signals travelling to the brain can start here,
5. or here,
6. or here.
7. In fibromyalgia the pain signals come from HERE.
8. There is a dysfunction in the brain causing it to act like an orchestra without a conductor.
9. IT IS OUT OF SYNC
10. The pain centres start to play at the wrong times...
11. and they play MUCH too LOUD.
12. This can make even the lightest touch excruciating.
13. How is fibromyalgia diagnosed?
15. No. A health care professional will press on 18 areas of your body. If 11 or more of them hurt, you have fibromyalgia.
16. Really.
17. Then What Happens?
19. Antidepressants
21. People might tell you... “It’s all in your head.”
22. “You don’t look sick.”
23. “You’re getting older.”
24. “You need to exercise.”

27. Fibromyalgia is a Neurometabolic problem.
28. We look at the nervous system.
29. A system is a set parts working together to form a whole. Neurons are the parts of your nervous system.
30. Support the neurons and the system takes care of itself.
31. Neurons need 3 things to be healthy.
32. #1 FUEL
33. #2 OXYGEN
34. #3 STIMULATION
35. Without these things neurons become weak, unstable and erratic.
36. Pain centres in the brain can start to turn on at inappropriate times.
37. THE SOLUTION
38. Provide the right FUEL #1
39. All of the structures and functions of the human body are built from and run on nutrients. All of them. - Janet Lang
40. Supporting neurons with fuel: •Ensuring the cells have the nutrients they REQUIRE to function. •Metabolic testing to examine the function of the body’s fuel delivery systems.
41. Our testing can include: •Autoimmune evaluation •Blood panel review •Adrenal Stress Index •Hormone panels •Thyroid panels No stone is left unturned.
42. #2 Provide OXYGEN
43. Your brain is roughly 2% of your body weight but uses around 20% of the oxygen delivered to your body.
44. Supply your nervous system with light exercise enhanced with oxygen therapy.
45. Provide the right STIMULATION #3
46. Neurons can be exercised just like muscles. They get stronger, and their connections to other neurons become more efficient.
47. Brain Based Therapies activate weak areas identified during a neurologic evaluation.
48. Resulting in a better functioning nervous system.
49. Don’t try to control fibromyalgia symptoms. Remove the cause.
