Fibromyalgia – Treatment & Care

Acupuncture

Another way to relieve pain caused by fibromyalgia is acupuncture. This traditional Chinese method involves the inserting of some small needles to provide some health benefits. These include enhancing natural self-healing, stimulating changes in your blood flow, changing the neurotransmitters in the brain, and alleviating pain. Keep in mind that it takes time to get the results. If you cannot endure needles, consider acupressure. Some possible side effects of this treatment options include bruising, minor bleeding, or soreness. It is important to choose a licensed and experienced acupuncturist to minimize these risks. [2]
