Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome that is characterized by generalized fatigue and widespread, scattered musculoskeletal pain that is worse when pressure is applied. It is more common in women than men and occurs in relatively young people who are otherwise healthy. Unfortunately, these elusive symptoms often take up to eight years to be diagnosed, and the syndrome is, in fact, under-diagnosed.

At The Bonati Institute, we see many cases of complications of fibromyalgia. Although the causes are not understood, the syndrome can result in spinal instability, which often compresses spinal discs and causes nerve compression, leading to more pain. The pain of spinal surgery is out of the question to most fibromyalgia patients, but fortunately, our procedures are much gentler than traditional surgery.

Effective Spinal Surgery for Fibromyalgia Complications

The pain of recovery coupled with already painful muscles and bones leaves many sufferers reluctant to have spinal surgery to repair spinal nerve problems. That is why treatment at The Bonati Institute is so much more desirable. With smaller incisions, shorter recovery times, and widespread success, Bonati procedures are ideal for fibromyalgia patients who need to undergo corrective surgery.

Other symptoms of fibromyalgia include being tired after sleep, irritable bowel syndrome, mood swings, and numbness in hands or feet. If you are experiencing spine or spinal nerve problems that your doctor thinks surgery will help, contact The Bonati Institute. We may be able to provide relief to some of your symptoms with proprietary surgery performed by a staff who cares.
