Understanding Fibromyalgia

A Message from Dr. Lawrence Bachelor, MD

Fibromyalgia is a complex and often misunderstood condition—one that can leave patients feeling unheard, exhausted, and overwhelmed. As a naturopathic physician, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals navigating chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog that defy traditional explanations. If you're living with Fibromyalgia, know this: your pain is real, and healing is possible.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder marked by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to pressure. Common symptoms include:

One of the diagnostic hallmarks of Fibromyalgia is the presence of tender points—specific areas on the body that are painful when pressure is applied. If 11 of the 18 tender points are pain-positive, a Fibromyalgia diagnosis is strongly considered.

The Root Cause: More Than Just the Body

While mainstream medicine often treats Fibromyalgia symptomatically with pharmaceuticals, our approach dives deeper. We look at:

For many, Fibromyalgia doesn't begin with a single cause. It’s often a perfect storm of physical, emotional, and energetic disruption.

Our Holistic Approach to Treatment

At my clinic, we tailor each treatment plan to your unique biochemistry and energetic signature. Some of the therapies we may use include:

Enzyme Therapy

To clear residual protein particles and viral remnants, such as those from Long COVID or Epstein-Barr.

Herbal & Nutritional Medicine

Custom protocols to reduce inflammation, support adrenal recovery, and nourish the nervous system.

Detoxification Support

Guided sauna therapy, lymphatic movement, and digestive cleansing to reduce toxic load.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Enhances oxygenation at the cellular level to support tissue repair and mitochondrial function.

Homeopathy & Energetic Rebalancing

Using detailed case analysis (repertorization), we match remedies to your specific symptom pattern—targeting both the root and the resonance of the illness.

The Subtle Energy Body

Fibromyalgia often involves disturbances in the body’s biofield—the subtle energy matrix that underlies physical form. At our center, we assess and support this field through:

Many patients find that addressing energetic imbalances offers deep and lasting relief—especially when physical treatments have only gone so far.
