Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Fibromyalgia and Chronic Widespread Pain
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition associated with pain throughout the body, along with fatigue, sleep problems and tenderness in the muscles and soft tissue. Because symptoms vary from person to person and often come and go, many patients spend months or years searching for an explanation. A careful, patient-centered evaluation is the first step toward a plan that fits your symptoms and your goals.
Common Symptoms Patients Describe
- Aching or burning pain in multiple areas of the body
- Muscle stiffness and tender spots
- Fatigue that does not improve with rest
- Poor or unrefreshing sleep
- Trouble concentrating, sometimes called “fibro fog”
- Headaches or migraines
- Mood changes such as anxiety or low mood
- Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
How We Approach Fibromyalgia Care
Fibromyalgia rarely responds to a single fix, so we look at the whole picture. During your visit, we review your medical history, discuss where and when your pain flares, and talk about how symptoms affect your sleep, mood, movement and daily routine. From there, we work with you to create a plan built around your needs.
Treatment Options That May Be Part of Your Plan
Your plan is tailored to you and may combine several approaches:
- Targeted pain relief: For painful, tight areas of muscle, trigger point injections may help ease discomfort.
- Non-opioid strategies: We emphasize safer, non-opioid choices whenever possible. Learn more about our alternatives to opioids.
- Sleep and mood support: Poor sleep and stress can make pain feel worse, so we address these factors as part of your care.
- Lifestyle guidance: Gentle movement, pacing and healthy habits can support long-term comfort.
- Ongoing follow-up: We check in on your progress and adjust your plan as your symptoms change.
What to Expect at Your Visit
- A thorough conversation about your symptoms, history and goals
- A physical evaluation focused on areas of pain and tenderness
- A review of past treatments and what has or has not helped
- A clear explanation of your options in plain language
- A personalized plan with next steps and follow-up

Fibromyalgia Pain Management FAQs
What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition marked by widespread pain, tenderness, fatigue and sleep disturbances. It affects each person differently, and symptoms can flare and ease over time.
How is fibromyalgia pain managed?
Management usually involves a combination of approaches rather than one single treatment. At our Boca Raton office, your plan may include targeted pain relief, non-opioid options, support for sleep and stress, lifestyle guidance and regular follow-up.
Do I need a diagnosis before I schedule a visit?
No. Whether you already have a fibromyalgia diagnosis or you are still trying to understand why you hurt, we can evaluate your symptoms and discuss next steps.
Can fibromyalgia be treated without opioids?
Often, yes. We focus on safer, non-opioid strategies whenever possible and tailor them to your symptoms and health history. You can read more on our alternatives to opioids page.
Can trigger point injections help with fibromyalgia?
For some patients, trigger point injections may help ease pain in tight, tender areas of muscle. We will discuss whether this option makes sense for you during your evaluation.
How long does it take to feel better?
