Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event.
Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.

Primary Symptoms

• Individuals afflicted with fibromyalgia experience “flare-ups” and symptom variation from day to day
• Persons may experience extended periods of remission, followed by short or long-term flares
• Patients may suffer from a mild, idiopathic form of the disease or a more somatoform type resulting from depression
• Signs of fibromyalgia include
• Increased sensitivity to touch
• Overall pain and tenderness
• Tingling and aching sensations
• Muscle spasms, nerve pain and weak limbs
• Sleep disruptions
• Cognitive “fog” or overload

FIBROMYALGIA and TMS

• TMS has been shown to have a rapid therapeutic onset for treating various neural disorders with extremely mild or no side effects.
• TMS is a safe, effective and rapid-acting treatment modality that works by sending a highly focused flow of electrons to cause neural healing in parts of the brain.
• The human brain is an electrical organ that functions through transmitting electrical signals from one nerve cell to another.
• Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy (rTMS) when properly modulated and focused on areas of inadequate activity increases the number and frequency of transmissions, thereby restoring areas with damaged neural communication.

• 10-20 high frequency treatment sessions, over a period of 1-2 consecutive weeks.
