About fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition globally recognized only in the past two decades that encompasses previous definitions such as Non- Specific Articular Rheumatism, Spasmophilia, and many others. This syndrome is clinically characterized by diffuse pain along the body in atypical areas, combined with an altered awake-sleep rhythm. In addition, there is a cohort of symptoms that can vary from burning sensations in the muscles, deterioration of the sense of taste, night palpitations, a general sense of tiredness, and many others. Fundamental characteristic of this condition is that laboratory tests and various diagnostic modalities, such as ultrasound examinations, Computerized Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance, cannot explain the cause of the reported complaints. Fibromyalgia affects mainly females between 20 and 60 years of age, has a chronic course, its symptoms not necessarily worsen over time, and, at present, there is no evidence of associations with other known diseases; fibromyalgia patients also have a life expectancy identical to healthy people. The diagnosis is made by the rheumatologist, by testing the pain elicited on palpation in points distributed along the body according to established guidelines.
Since no trigger can be found for this highly debilitating condition, the theories about its occurrence are many and diverse, ranging from the immune, to the viral, and to the psychological hypotheses. The attempts to cure it are based on the cause theory that one believes in; it is now clear, however, that the normal anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers are of limited help. When dealing with fibromyalgia, it is also not uncommon to run into patients that have undergone surgery in the most affected painful areas without resolution of the problem, but instead with worsening of the symptoms. Among the various modalities of treatments, such as drugs, occupational therapy, psychoanalysis, and more, we would like to report a treatment that currently seems to be effective and well balanced between toxicity and interventional danger, with absolutely remarkable results: the Functional Rebalancing Method Solere.
This method originates from Chinese medicine, but it deviates widely because it does not try to treat the most affected body district (the cervical, the sciatica ...), but instead tries to rebalance the perception that the patient has of his/her body, reconnecting it to its basic rhythm: when the hook-up takes place, there is in fact not only decrease or disappearance of the pain, but also resolution of all the accompanying symptoms, with the resumption of normal sleep,and disappearance of palpitations or bothersome colitis, and so on. Technically this treatment involves the stimulation of certain reflex points on the skin, without inserting needles (they are not well tolerated by fibromyalgia patients), but using a special apparatus that does not cause any problem for the patient; the treatment involves six sessions lasting about ten minutes each. A multicenter study involving Italy, Belgium, France and Switzerland has already been in progress for one year to validate this method before the European academies of medicine, through publication in scientific journals.
