Fibromyalgia Treatment Clinic in Greenacres, FL

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition marked by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. While there is currently no cure for fibromyalgia, the team at Comprehensive Pain is dedicated to helping patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life through individualized, evidence-based care.
 
Our approach at Comprehensive Pain focuses on symptom relief and holistic support. We offer a range of treatments, including medications to reduce pain and improve sleep quality, physical therapy to enhance mobility and comfort, and targeted lifestyle counseling. Our providers guide patients in developing healthy habits such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and sleep hygiene—all of which can make a significant difference in daily well-being.
 
We also recognize that fibromyalgia affects each person differently. That’s why our team creates personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific symptoms and needs. For many patients, psychological therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy are integrated into care to address the emotional aspects of living with chronic pain.
 
Fibromyalgia symptoms can fluctuate over time, and ongoing management is essential. Comprehensive Pain remains committed to staying up-to-date with the latest research and treatment options, ensuring our patients benefit from the most current and effective approaches.

At Comprehensive Pain, we recognize the complex and challenging nature of fibromyalgia. Our multidisciplinary team understands that effective management requires more than medication—it involves a holistic approach tailored to your unique needs. That’s why physical therapy is a cornerstone of our fibromyalgia care.
 
Our experienced physical therapists collaborate closely with our pain specialists to develop personalized treatment plans that address both pain and the functional limitations associated with fibromyalgia. Through gentle, targeted exercises—including aerobic activities, stretching routines, and strength training—we help patients safely improve their endurance, flexibility, and strength. This gradual approach not only reduces pain but also combats fatigue and enhances overall well-being.
 
Education is also a key part of your care at Comprehensive Pain. We teach you proper ergonomics and body mechanics, ensuring you can perform daily activities with less strain and discomfort. When appropriate, our therapists incorporate manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic massage to relieve muscle stiffness and promote relaxation.
 
Most importantly, we empower you to take an active role in your recovery. Our team guides you in recognizing symptom triggers and developing self-management strategies, helping you regain confidence and control over your condition. By focusing on functional goals and gradually increasing activity levels, our physical therapy services support you in improving your quality of life and returning to the activities you enjoy.

At Comprehensive Pain, we understand that living with fibromyalgia can be challenging and that every patient’s journey is unique. In addition to evidence-based medical treatments, many of our patients are interested in natural approaches to help manage their fibromyalgia symptoms. While the effectiveness of these strategies can vary, incorporating certain lifestyle changes and complementary therapies alongside your medical care may provide additional relief.

Our team at Comprehensive Pain often recommends gentle, regular exercise such as walking, swimming, yoga, or tai chi. These low-impact activities can help reduce pain, improve energy, and support overall well-being. We work with patients to develop individualized activity plans, emphasizing gradual increases in movement to avoid overexertion, which can sometimes worsen symptoms.

Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with stress and anxiety. At Comprehensive Pain, we encourage stress reduction strategies like mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation. For some patients, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be a valuable tool for managing the emotional impact of chronic pain and building effective coping skills.

While there is no one-size-fits-all diet for fibromyalgia, some patients at our practice report feeling better when they reduce processed foods, sugar, and caffeine, or address potential food sensitivities. We can connect you with nutrition resources to help you establish a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins—supporting your overall health and well-being.

Our providers are experienced in treating the unique needs of fibromyalgia patients. We know that chronic stress can negatively impact the central nervous system, which is already thought to be dysregulated in people with this condition. This can result in amplified pain signals and an increased perception of discomfort. Additionally, stress may contribute to muscle tension, making the widespread pain of fibromyalgia feel even more intense.
 
We also understand the emotional impact of fibromyalgia. Stress can lead to anxiety and depression, which are commonly seen in those with fibromyalgia and can further exacerbate physical symptoms. This creates a challenging cycle: stress worsens symptoms, and worsening symptoms increase stress.
 
At Comprehensive Pain, we believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach to breaking this cycle. Our team helps patients manage stress through relaxation techniques, individualized exercise programs, sleep hygiene education, mindfulness practices, and, when appropriate, counseling and behavioral health support. By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of fibromyalgia, we aim to reduce the impact of stress and help our patients achieve better symptom control and a higher quality of life.
