Fibromyalgia Complex

Symptoms, causes, and how Clearway specialists diagnose and treat fibromyalgia complex.

Overview

What is Fibromyalgia Complex?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened pain sensitivity. It is real, recognized, and best managed with a coordinated, multimodal plan.

Widespread pain on both sides of the body
Fatigue and unrefreshing sleep
Difficulty concentrating ('fibro fog')
Tender points and morning stiffness
Amplified pain processing in the nervous system
Triggers including injury, infection, or significant stress
Often co-occurs with other pain conditions

Your care begins with a careful evaluation - history, examination, and imaging review - to confirm the source of your pain. From there, your specialist builds a plan that may include targeted interventional procedures, physical therapy, and coordinated medication management.
