Fibromyalgia can cause severe muscle pain, tenderness in certain pressure points, and fatigue. Exploring fibromyalgia treatments in Phoenix such as ketamine infusions may help relieve your symptoms. Here are some other interventions to consider to complement your ketamine treatment.
Therapeutic Massage
Massage can complement your ketamine treatments because it relaxes sore muscles, promotes optimal blood flow to inflamed muscle tissue, enhances sleep patterns, and eases pain. Massage also promotes the release of endorphins. These neurotransmitters play a role in pain relief and may even help prevent depression that is not uncommon in people suffering from fibromyalgia and other types of chronic pain. Be sure to seek a qualified massage therapist or chiropractor when making your appointment. If your therapist does not have experience treating people with fibromyalgia, your massage may do more harm than good.
Nutritional Intervention
Another way to help enhance the benefits of your fibromyalgia treatment in Phoenix is with nutritional intervention. Including more foods high in magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins help support optimal muscle and nerve health, decrease inflammation, restore mobility, and reduce pain. Make an appointment with a nutritionist to learn more about making healthy food choices or talk to your doctor about which foods you should eat to help manage your fibromyalgia. Your physician will also tell you which foods can trigger inflammation and why you should avoid them.
