For the last three years at the Boydston Institute we have been pioneering non-invasive brain based rehabilitation for fibromyalgia sufferer's in the Fresno / Clovis region, ultimately serving the entire Central San Joaquin Valley serving patients from Sacramento to Los Angeles. Non-invasive brain based rehabilitation is a chiropractic sub-speciality we use that has produced wonderful outcomes for our fibromyalgia patients. [...]
In my opinion the reason that those with fibromyalgia go from doctor to doctor, and continue to suffer is that we have created an inadequate system of "specialists" in our healthcare model. The reason I say that is because our body doesn't work that way. We don't have a series of systems that work independently of each other.
Most doctors learn the body in chapters. Chapter one-the heart, chapter two-the lungs, chapter 3-the stomach and intestines…you get the picture. That's why there are 'specialists' for each of those book chapters. The problem is that millions of you see specialist after specialist after specialist and you still don't get any better. [...]
You may have asked yourself what causes fibromyalgia? Some refer to it as a mystery or "invisible" illness. Honestly, for most doctors it is a diagnosis given when they feel they have run out of options. So really it is a syndrome, or a name that describes a group of symptoms. Now before I go any further I don't mean to imply the pain, fatigue, insomnia, or other symptoms are not real, not at all.
My position on this has always been… "there is something definitely wrong, and if we look hard enough, at the right things, we can create a phenomenal outcome for fibromyalgia patients." [...]
All of the current fibromyalgia research that is being published seems to have one unified theme: fibromyalgia is a neurological problem (at least it has a huge neurological component.) The breakthrough comes when you start to realize that the brain is like a big muscle.
A good way to look at the brain is to think of it as a muscle…as lot's of different muscles. Sometimes the muscles are really strong and other times they are really weak. When the muscles…or different areas in the brain, become weak…it will [...]

What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia sufferer's have several things in common, including: widespread achy muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia, and "fibro fog." Even with these similarities it is not the same for every individual that is given this diagnosis, or "label" if you will. I have worked with hundreds of fibromyalgia patients and the one thing they all had in common was… [...]

"I have had fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and it has been debilitating.."
"I have had Fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and it has been debilitating. It stole a large part of my life and ability to live my life. The overall fatigue was the worst for me, in that I was so tired and weak I could hardly function. My day to day routine had to be modified so I could make it through the entire day, which meant limiting the numbers of steps I took in a given day.
If I walked more than usual, I would pay the price with unrelenting fatigue. Going to work each day became an issue of sheer will power. Just showering and dressing was enough to wear me out and the day hadn’t even begun. I slept my weekends away and was only able to manage to get my laundry done to return to work the following Monday. I live alone and didn’t have anyone I could ask to take over some of my chores, going to the store, watering plants, cleaning house….the average tasks we take for granted. I was too proud to reach out for help.
Many of my friends haven’t seen me in years, I did not, could not participate in weekend activities as I was completely worn out from my work week. And like others with this chronic illness, I look ok, sound ok…so what is the problem. The problem is, I was stricken down by my body attacking its self. My muscles seemed to no longer exist and they would attack me when I tried using them, which left me sitting/sleeping in a chair for the past 4 years.
Since finding out about Dr Boydston and his approach to treating this condition, I have gained strength, don’t feel as much fatigue and my muscle tone is returning slowly but, surely. Unlike medical physicians, I am receiving treatment as opposed to medication that will only mask the pain. With his treatment there is a light at the end of this miserable tunnel. I cannot express the over whelming feeling of hope that I have knowing
I am headed to recovery from this debilitating attack of my body. I look forward to regaining my life the way I remember it to be. The treatments are not the traditional chiropractic that you may have experienced. As far as I am concerned, this is nothing short of miraculous and I say ‘kudos’ to Dr Boydston for stepping ‘outside the box’ and using this unconventional method of healing!"

Those are all big words, but what they collectively represent is a likely solution to ending fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, and insomnia. Let me explain…
One of the best analogies or metaphors to use to explain the functional disconnection syndrome (brain imbalance in fibromyalgia) is this: think of it like a marching band. When both sides of the brain are working together, and they’re strong, and they’re in tune, and they’re in sync; you’ve got a marching band…or it’s like an orchestra. Everything sounds great. It sounds very pleasing. But what happens if the trumpets decide that they’re going to play a half a beat off? It’s not going to sound right.
That’s what’s going on in the brain of a fibromyalgia patient. When the brain is functioning properly, we get a very orchestral, beautiful function…but if just one section starts to play off tune or out of sync, then things get thrown out of time and we get all sorts of symptoms like pain, tenderness, fatigue, memory loss, rapid heartbeat, headaches, Irritable bowel, hormone imbalances…and more.
