The word Homeopathy (or Homoeopathy) is derived from the Greek words “homoios”, meaning “like”
or “similar”; and “pathos”, meaning “suffering” or ”disease”. Homeopathy is a system of medical therapeutics for
treating based on the principle of “similae” or “simile.” “Disease is eliminated through remedies able to produce
similar symptoms.” The principle is that certain substances (herbs, minerals, inorganic salts, and other organic
materials, etc.) in full strength yield the same symptoms as does a known disease, and that those same substances
when "potentised" (or diluted and vigorously agitated) can provide relief of those same symptoms. Titrated
dilutions and succussions of a particular substance can often be the means for fibromyalgia treatment. Today,
unlike nutritional substances, Homeopathy substances are considered medicines, recognized as powerful entities
which allow specific medical claims to be made about them.
Massage Therapy
Massage involves the use of different manipulative techniques to move the body's muscles and
soft tissues. Massage Therapy aims to improve circulation in the muscle, increasing the flow of nutrients,
eliminating waste products. Massage can relax muscles, improve range of motion in the joints, and increase the
production of the body's natural painkillers. It often helps relieve stress and anxiety for those afflicted with
the symptoms of pain.
Naturopathic
Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are educated with the same general medical curriculum as
traditional Allopathic doctors, but also study traditional natural therapeutics emphasizing lifestyle changes,
disease prevention, and optimal wellness. They perform physical examinations, laboratory testing, gynecological
exams, nutritional and dietary assessments, metabolic analysis, and allergy testing. They may order diagnostic
testing, as well as incorporate a wide variety of natural therapeutics for natural fibromyalgia treatment. .
Osteopathy
Osteopaths are licensed to perform many of the same therapies and procedures as traditional
Allopathic doctors. One area where Osteopathy differs from conventional medicine - but is similar to Chiropractic
medicine - is in the use of manipulation to address joint and spinal problems. This is beneficial in the treatment
of fibromyalgia symptoms
