Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have many overlapping characteristics including exhaustion, sleep disorders and depression. In addition, fibromyalgia and fibromyalgia symptoms are characterized by chronic pain in the muscles that are tender to touch. Conventional medicine focuses on treating the symptoms with medications that include anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, sleep agents, and pain killers. However, they do not address the often multiple underlying causes for these conditions.

Our Approach

At EcoLogical Internal Medicine our goal is to address the underlying causes and restore your health. Environmental toxins are known to cause fatigue, adrenal fatigue symptoms and muscle inflammation. We work with you to minimize the effects of these toxins through Environmental Medicine. We also search for and address chronic infections that can contribute to these conditions. We provide customized healthy diet plans and food allergy testing to optimize revitalizing, anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. Vitamins, nutritional supplements and bioidentical hormones may be prescribed to correct nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances, such as adrenal fatigue, associated with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

Osteopathic Medicine may also be used to address chronic fatigue and pain by relieving structural imbalances and enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the body. Music therapy is effective in energizing the brain and body, often helping improve mental clarity. We may use Mind-Body Medicine to help you address underlying trauma, both physical and emotional, that can contribute to fatigue and fibromyalgia, including breathing exercises and meditation.
