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
