What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes debilitating pain all over the body. People with FMS often also suffer from extreme tiredness, difficulty sleeping, brain fog, memory problems and mood issues. FMS affects 2%-4% of the population and is nine times more common in women than in men.
While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, in many cases it appears to be triggered by either severe emotional stress or a physical insult such as traumatic brain injury or viral disease. Recent studies found that the syndrome is related to certain malfunctioning regions in the brain which are responsible for pain sensation, pain tolerance, and the ability to process pain signals.

  • Effective Treatment for FMS at Aviv Clinics

    Clinical studies have found that a unique protocol of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve the symptoms of fibromyalgia and enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.

    The goal of Aviv’s HBOT protocol is to initiate the healing process in damaged brain tissue. For people with FMS, brain tissue damage generally relates to the central pain sensitization region, which is why fibromyalgia can cause pain throughout the body.

    Our clinical team specializes in diagnosing the severity of brain tissue damage. We then assess your suitability for treatment with physical and neurological tests, and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your physiology, symptoms and test results.
