New procedure offers hope for “horrible, constant

In a recent survey, 42 percent of sufferers described their pain symptoms as “horrible pain”, “constant pain”, “jabbing”, “unbearable” and more.

 Researchers estimate that fibromyalgia affects up to 6 percent of the population, with nine out of ten sufferers being women.

 Many spend considerable time seeking solutions for their “mystery” illness before being diagnosed, as doctors rule out better-known conditions. And even a diagnosis of fibromyalgia does not bring answers.  Medical science does not know what causes the syndrome or how to cure it.

Since the cause is unknown, there is no generally accepted treatment for fibromyalgia itself. Instead, doctors focus on relieving the symptoms  through a variety of medications, therapies and lifestyle changes.

 The failure of the medical profession to agree on the cause, treatment, or even existence of fibromyalgia has made it difficult for those suffering from the painful and debilitating symptoms to find answers.

 The Neurologic Relief Centers takes a broader approach to fibromyalgia; it believes fibromyalgia and other chronic neurological conditions may be caused by compression of the meninges – the three-layered membrane sack that protects the central nervous system.   Pressures, including physical trauma, emotional stress and routine wear and tear are believed to cause compression that “tugs” at nerves where they connect to the meninges, causing   constant stimulation.

 This constant stimulation of nerves is in line with theories about the cause of fibromyalgia described by the Mayo Clinic. “Researchers believe repeated nerve stimulation causes the brains of people with fibromyalgia to change,” increasing the levels of chemicals that signal pain and causing the brain’s pain receptors to become more sensitive, according to the famous clinic’s web site.  (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/DS00079/DSECTION=causes)

 Approaching fibromyalgia symptoms from the view of meningeal compression, our team has created the Neurologic Relief Center  Technique™ to relieve the symptoms.  Many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, of course, may be caused by other medical conditions; to ensure that the NRC  approach will be effective for the patient, the team has created a free, non-invasive test,  which often brings temporary, immediate relief to patients, and indicates whether long-term therapy will be of benefit.
