Conditions ยท Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia pain feeds on itself. Hurting makes you move less, moving less makes you hurt more. Here's how super pulsed cold laser helps interrupt that loop.
Book a SessionIf you live with fibromyalgia, you already know the routine. Pain that moves around. Spots that hurt when someone barely touches them. Bad days that wipe out the good ones. And a lot of people telling you it's all in your head.
It isn't. But your nervous system is a big part of the story, and that's actually good news. A nervous system can be calmed down.
Fibromyalgia tends to run in a loop:
Muscles and tender points are sensitive, so ordinary activity feels like too much.
That's a smart short-term choice. Nobody wants to do the thing that hurts.
Less movement means more stiffness, more fatigue, and a nervous system that gets even more protective.
Now the next bit of activity feels even worse, and the loop tightens.
Medication helps some people, but plenty find the relief doesn't outweigh the side effects. What most people need is a way to turn the volume down long enough to start moving again.
The super pulsed cold laser we use is FDA-cleared for fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, and neck and shoulder pain. For fibromyalgia, its job is simple. It helps calm the sensitivity so gentle movement stops feeling like a threat.
We also have a FibroLux in the office, a super pulsed laser built specifically for fibromyalgia. You can book a FibroLux session on its own when you schedule online.
Research presented to laser clinicians in 2026 made the same point we see in the clinic. Laser by itself helps. Gentle movement by itself helps a little. The two together work better than either one alone.
On your first visit we map which points are tender and how much fibromyalgia is getting in the way of your life. That gives us something to measure against.
The laser sits still on each spot with light, even pressure. The FibroLux has an extra-wide treatment head that spreads that pressure out, so even very tender spots can usually handle it. No digging, no deep work on areas that can't tolerate it yet.
Tender points change from day to day. We recheck them each time and treat what's active today, not what was active last week.
Light stretching and a short, easy walk are part of the plan. Not a workout. Just enough to remind your body that moving is safe.
Your protocol is matched to your healing phase, and we adjust it as your sensitivity comes down.
Fibromyalgia makes consistency hard. Fatigue and flares get in the way of appointments. We know that. Most people do best with a few visits a week for a short stretch at the start, so we plan around your energy, not against it. If getting here is the barrier, ask us about using a laser at home.
If you've been told there's nothing more to try, start with one visit. We'll map your tender points and show you what a calmer nervous system feels like.
