Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain doesn’t have to define your life—find relief with innovative, personalized care.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. This complex disorder affects the way the brain and nervous system process pain signals, often leading to persistent discomfort, sleep disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and emotional distress. While the exact cause remains unclear, fibromyalgia is believed to be linked to nervous system dysfunction, inflammation, and imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
At StrIVeMD Wellness, we recognize that fibromyalgia is more than just pain—it impacts every aspect of daily life. That’s why we offer a holistic, solution-oriented approach, including advanced therapies like ketamine treatment, to help reduce pain, restore energy, and improve quality of life when traditional treatments fall short.
Do I Have Fibromyalgia?
Widespread Pain & Tenderness
Individuals with fibromyalgia often experience chronic, widespread pain that affects both sides of the body and extends above and below the waist. Tender points—specific areas of sensitivity—can make even light pressure painful.
Persistent Fatigue & Sleep Disturbances
Despite getting enough rest, those with fibromyalgia often wake up feeling exhausted and unrefreshed. Disruptions in deep sleep cycles may contribute to chronic fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and reduced stamina.
Cognitive Challenges ("Fibro Fog")
Many patients report trouble with memory, concentration, and mental clarity, often referred to as "fibro fog." This can make it difficult to focus, process information, or complete daily tasks efficiently.
Increased Sensitivity to Stimuli
Fibromyalgia can heighten the body's response to pain, temperature changes, bright lights, or loud noises. Many individuals also experience digestive issues, headaches, or heightened stress responses.

FAQs About Fibromyalgia & Treatment
How does ketamine help with fibromyalgia pain?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Ketamine works by modulating glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in pain perception and nervous system function. Unlike traditional pain medications, which only mask symptoms, ketamine helps "reset" pain pathways, offering both immediate relief and long-term improvements in pain sensitivity, mood, and cognitive function.
Is ketamine therapy safe for fibromyalgia?
Yes! Ketamine is FDA-approved for certain medical uses, and research supports its effectiveness in managing chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia. Our treatments are administered in a controlled, medical setting by experienced professionals, ensuring safety and optimal results.
How soon will I feel relief after starting treatment?
Many patients report improvements in pain, fatigue, and mental clarity within hours to days after their first infusion. A series of ketamine treatments often provides long-lasting relief, with effects lasting weeks to months depending on the individual.
