In these times of intensive use of computers and long periods of labor keeping the same position working with them, suffering from fibromyalgia or chronic pain is not a rare condition in workers.
Even worse, the fibromyalgia syndrome can become serious disadvantage affecting the job performance of the sufferer and in this way reducing her competitiveness and putting in risk her job position.
For that reason, in this article I will share with the readers some thoughts about fibromyalgia, common treatments used to relieve it, and finally the use of brainwave entrainment as natural alternative as a fibromyalgia treatment.
The main problem related with suffering from fibromyalgia or chronic pain at work are the symptoms, they can interfere with labor activities avoiding the worker to achieve her peak performance or even worse; not working at all.
In fact, common symptoms include obviously pain, weakening fatigue, sleep disorder, and joint rigidity.
Some patients may also report difficulty with deglutition, numbness and tingling, bowel and vesicle anomalies, and the worst symptom: cognitive deterioration.
Doctors say that fibromyalgia syndrome or chronic pain has not a clear cause or causes.
Fibromyalgia also is difficult to diagnose, that's why some members of the medical community do not consider fibromyalgia as a disease because the absence of physical abnormalities, objective diagnostic tests, and extensive superposition with other diagnosis such as chronic fatigue syndrome.
However, several studies based on tomography have shown proof for neurological differences between fibromyalgia sufferers and healthy people.
These studies have shown hyper sensibility in the perception of the pain by the brain of the patient.
Thus, by reducing this hyper sensibility in the brain, the sufferer, in most cases, can get a great relief from fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia has no acknowledged cure or a common treatment because it is still an unknown medical syndrome.
Treatments are driven only on symptom management.
Research of the physiology and psychology of fibromyalgia have discovered treatments from diverse origin such as medicines, cognitive-behavioral therapies, exercises, and alternative and complementary medicine.
Indeed, when these treatments are integrated, they have been shown to be more effective in alleviating pain and other symptoms than single treatments.
In addition, a promising natural alternative for fibromyalgia treatment is Brainwave Entrainment.
Indeed, sessions based on brainwave entrainment help you to reduce not only the pain perception of the brain but also in the long term you can train your brain to naturally produce the brainwave patterns to alleviate this symptom.
Moreover, in the long term you can reduce the dose of medicines needed to relieve fibromyalgia and even avoid drugs at all if you train your brain with this therapy.
A typical brainwave entrainment session for fibromyalgia and chronic pain reduction, consists of an MP3 file with special sounds (binaural beats) at the range of Sub-Delta (0 - 1 hz) frequencies, which seem to have soothing effects on the limbic system (the amygdala and hypothalamus), which themselves operate at delta frequencies.
Theoretically, this is the reason delta frequencies are so helpful with conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic pain, as well as hypertension.
Furthermore, stimulating the brain with Alpha waves (10 - 14 hz) also induces an increase in the release of serotonin, the body's own pain relief drug, and it has been shown to help in the relief of certain types of bodily pain and ailments such as fibromyalgia and headache.
Brainwave entrainment also helps in the physical healing processes as well as improving the immune system.
The best of this therapy is the easiness of it use.
It consists only on lying down in your sofa or bed, close your eyes, and listen the therapy for 15 minutes or more.
That's all.
In summary, fibromyalgia or chronic pain interfere the work performance of laborers.
Given that fibromyalgia syndrome or can be considered as a pain hyper sensibility, by reducing deeply the brain's activity you will get a quick relief from this affliction.
Therefore, a therapy based on Brainwave Entrainment is an excellent complement or even alternative to those based on drugs.
Remember: the more you listen to the therapy, the more effective it is in the long term.
