Dr. Robert Boydston D.C., discusses the neurological, brain-based, aspect of fibromyalgia…
So what makes our fibromyalgia treatment approach unique at the Boydston Institute? What do we do, or look at, that every other doctor just brushes over?
Well the newest research, and there’s a whole lot of it, shows that the cause of fibromyalgia symptoms, in a lot of cases, is an electrical imbalance in the brain; not a chemical one, but an electrical one. Now in scientific terms, this is called a “functional disconnection syndrome.”
It’s like this: The wiring is there, it’s not cut, it’s just that the juice is not running at 100 percent. It’s an electrical imbalance. Now, although this is really well documented in literature, very few doctors or practitioners have any idea what this thing is or how to accurately diagnose it…or even how to treat it.
In Fibromyalgia , this Functional Disconnection Syndrome can affect different brain areas:
- Parietal Lobe
- Frontal lobe
- Temporal lobe
- Cerebellum
- Brainstem
Having success with fibromyalgia treatment involves looking very closely at the functioning of the brain. In fact many fibromyalgia patients have been to a neurologist. The neurologist probably looked at the function of some of these areas, but then completely brushed over them.
You have to look at things from a function perspective. Sometimes the subtle findings are the most important. From there a specific course of non-invasive brain based rehabilitation, also referred to as brain based therapy, can be devised to strengthen and balance the two hemispheres of the brain.
