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:
Deep, persistent muscle aches
“Brain fog” or mental confusion
Non-restorative sleep
Chronic fatigue
Digestive discomfort
Anxiety and depression
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:
Nervous system dysregulation
Mitochondrial (cellular energy) dysfunction
Gut microbiome imbalances
Lingering viral or microbial triggers
Emotional and energetic trauma stored in the body
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:
Chakra assessment & balancing
Aura analysis
Crystal and frequency therapies
Aromatherapy and breathwork
Many patients find that addressing energetic imbalances offers deep and lasting relief—especially when physical treatments have only gone so far.
