On Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 1:00 pm Dr. Fred Schultz presents…. Fred Schultz, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. Center for Health & Healing Family Physician since 1980 www.drfredschultz.com Natural Treatments for Fibromyalgia Relief from Chronic Widespread Pain Fibromyalgia syndrome encompasses various symptoms that can be debilitating. Sufferers of this complex condition are often dismissed by their physicians because the symptoms they report may not correlate with their test results. Many doctors do not have an understanding of fibromyalgia syndrome. Patients experience unbearable pain and fatigue, and the “solution” offered by their doctor is often to take anti‐anxiety or anti‐depressant medication, pain relievers, muscle relaxants, non‐steroidal anti‐ inflammatory drugs, or one of the new fibromyalgia drugs. Unfortunately, without correcting the underlying causes, patients are unlikely to find long‐term relief. Some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia are: Headache Cognitive dysfunction Depression Sleep dysfunction Morning stiffness Muscle pain Fatigue Chest wall pain Back pain Irritable bowel syndrome Irritable bladder syndrome Anxiety Using natural methods, Dr. Fred Schultz has successfully treated fibromyalgia for many years. He addresses every aspect of this central nervous system disorder. He helps fibromyalgia sufferers fully recover. The treatment protocol is not easy. Patients must actively participate in their care. Functional diagnostic testing is needed. Changes must be made to diet, lifestyle, and sometimes to the patient’s environment. Nutritional supplementation is required on a regimented basis. Nutritional intravenous therapy, cold laser treatments and myofascial release techniques are powerful tools in the treatment of fibromyalgia. There is no quick fix, but there is a fix. For those ready to recover, these measures are worth the effort. Recovery from fibromyalgia means once again participating in life, enjoying activities that have been too difficult since the intrusion of this unwelcome condition. Fibromyalgia is a reversible condition. Helen Floyd, L.M.T. of Essential Healing & Massage will join Dr. Schultz in describing various treatments that work to reverse this debilitating condition. Join us for this informative and enlightening lecture. The lecture will be held at the Essential Healing & Massage Conference Room, located at 2100 Manchester Rd, Ste. 940, in Wheaton.
