Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain
Treating What Other Doctors Missed
Functional Medicine in Boulder, CO
You're not imagining it. And you're not out of options.
Fibromyalgia is one of the most frustrating diagnoses a patient can receive. Too many providers offer little understanding to its cause offering only pharmaceutical bandaids. Many patients with fibromyalgia have spent years feeling dismissed, disbelieved, or told that their symptoms are psychological. We want to say clearly: fibromyalgia is a real, physiologically based condition, and it deserves a thorough clinical investigation.
Finding the Root of Chronic Pain at Helios
Often what we find are reactivations of latent viruses that cause inflammation within the brain. This can be complicated by underlying immune dysfunction, sleep disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction or micronutrient deficiencies. Additionally, gut dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability add to inflammatory burden. The good news is that all of these conditions have tests and treatment.
If you've been told to just manage your fibromyalgia, we'd like to take another look.
Treatment Plans & Outcomes
Our approach to fibromyalgia and chronic pain is comprehensive and patient-centered. It may include functional testing, targeted antiviral nutritional and supplemental protocols, IV nutrient therapy, acupuncture and Chinese medicine, sleep optimization, and collaboration with your pain management team. We are not promising a cure, but we are promising to look harder than others, and many patients find that a thorough functional medicine evaluation uncovers treatable contributors that make a meaningful difference in how they feel.
