Fibromyalgia Treatments Moist Heat Treatments and Trigger
Point Massage
Heat Therapy
Heat therapy is actually detrimental to some types of muscular
pain, specifically those accompanied by inflammation. But because Fibromyalgia
does not cause any inflammation of the soft tissues, heat therapy can be
beneficial in easing the pain and discomfort. An electric heating pad or a long,
hot bubble bath can help boost circulation to the affected areas, flushing out
toxins and speeding the healing process.
Fibromyalgia Information
Reliable and timely Fibromyalgia information is often hard to
find. What is Fibromyalgia? Who gets Fibromyalgia? How does one arrive at a
Fibromyalgia diagnosis? Sometimes your doctor won’t be able to answer your
questions for you. There are no specialists in this disorder, so doctors don’t
always have access to the latest research. Furthermore, many Fibromyalgia
information sources confuse the disorder with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a
disease associated with similar symptoms.
The Benefits of
Trigger Point Therapy, Moist Heat Packs and Gentle Stretching
The following steps are the treatment tips that help in the recovery from
fibromyalgia.
Listed below are the top treatment tips that helped individuals to recover
from fibromyalgia and chronic pain problems.
Fibromyalgia Treatment - Short Term Solutions
Recommended reading: Pain Erasure by Bonnie Prudden.
- Search out the trigger point areas using a massage tool. An important
point to note is that where your body hurts the most may not be the
source of the pain. If you would like some help locating trigger points we
have a chart of common trigger points
for you.
- Apply moist heat packs to the areas with the trigger points. For some
reason they have to be moist, dry heat just doesn't have the same impact. If
you have fibromyalgia you probably have trigger points all over your body, so
you have to do trigger point triage - pick the places that are the tightest
for the heat packs and save the others for another session once the first set
has been loosened up. Our herbal
moist heat packs are prefect for this application. Epsom salt baths are
also helpful. (Epsom salts are made of magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is the
main nutrient involved in muscle relaxation.)
- Apply counter pressure to the trigger points to loosen them up. For people
who also have problems with tight muscles, this technique works amazingly
well. We have also used hot water bottles covered with a moist cloth. This
works, but not as well. As herbal heat packs.
- Follow the counter pressure session with a stretching / gentle yoga
session to relax and lengthen tight muscles. If yoga or any other exercise
hurts, skip them at first. Pain is your body's way of telling you that hurts -
don't do that. Many find that pain during exercise just led to more pain.
- How to tell if the steps are working - experiment by just doing the
treatment sessions on only one leg and then taking a walk around the block.
It's amazing how much more relaxed the leg that has had the heat packs,
trigger point therapy and stretches feels. It's no wonder that people with
fibromyalgia also often have Chronic Fatigue syndrome. When your muscles are
really tight, it takes much more effort to move them. You probably don't
realize just how tight your muscles are until they start to loosened up.
