Fibromyalgia is a condition that still baffles doctors and requires genuine expertise and experience for its diagnosis. The symptoms resemble many other better known soft tissue and muscle issues, making fibromyalgia a real treatment challenge. Since there is no known cure, it can only be remedied through a combination of different procedures.

Physiotherapy modalities are a series of treatments that have been helping against fibromyalgia symptoms. Patients with fibromyalgia perceive chronic muscle and soft tissue pain, morning stiffness, and sleeping trouble as the most frequent problems affecting their lives. These are the exact areas where physiotherapy has shown excellent results.

Sound waves emitted by ultrasound machines penetrate deep into muscle tissue, warming, and relaxing them during the treatment. Heat and paraffin therapy efficiently increase blood flow, which results in muscle relaxation. Finally, there is electrical stimulation that uses electrical currents of different forms and intensity to contract the muscles, thus improving their flexibility and reducing the pain caused by muscle stiffness.
