If you are looking for physical therapy in Smithtown that can treat your fibromyalgia, look no further than The Physical Therapy Experience! Our physical therapists will show you the methods necessary in reducing the stiffness and pain in your muscles. We will give you an evaluation so that you have a better understanding of your condition and how your body works, as this will help in your treatment.

Before you come to physical therapy, your doctor will diagnose you and will give you a prescription. It is important to know about the symptoms and causes of your fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is often caused by genetics, an infection, or physical or psychological trauma that triggers the pain. If you feel some of the following symptoms, you might be suffering from fibromyalgia:

  • Widespread pain lasting three or more months, both above and below your waist
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Cognitive difficulties, such as impaired focus

Women have a high risk for getting fibromyalgia than men. If you already suffer from other medical conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or lupus, you might also be more prone to developing fibromyalgia.

Although there is no cure for fibromyalgia, our physical therapy in Smithtown can relieve your pain. At The Physical Therapy Experience, we offer all kinds of therapy treatments, including massage therapy, heat/ice therapy, and exercise therapy. By showing you the proper techniques you need, these will reduce the pain and stiffness in your muscles and improve your range of movement.Hydrotherapy is one of the easier ways to do this. Your physical therapist will apply cold compresses to reduce swelling, followed by warm compresses to increase the blood flow in the muscles. We can show you how to do this at home, as this is a simple but effective form of treatment.

At the Physical Therapy Experience, we want to help reduce your pain using whichever methods are the best for you. Because fibromyalgia can be painful, our world-class physical therapy in Smithtown will work with you to relieve your pain, regain your mobility and give you a better understanding on how we can treat your condition, both here and at home. Be sure to contact us today!
