8Acupuncture
For those you want to try other things aside from medication, then acupuncture might be a better place to start to relieve FM pain. This treatment has to do with pricking the skin using needles, which helps:
Stimulate the body’s self-healing process
Support changes in the flow of blood
Boost the levels of the brain’s neurotransmitters
Treat a wide range of health conditions such as chronic pain.
According to a study conducted in the Journal of Rehabilitative Medicine, pointed out that individuals living with fibromyalgia and used this treatment option, acupuncture, enjoyed relief from pain for more than two years, than those who didn’t receive this treatment.
However, not everyone will be able to tolerate the needles. Therefore, it may be an option.
Similarly, the possible risks associated with acupuncture include bruising, minor bleeding, and soreness after treatment.
Note, it’s imperative that you make sure you carry out this process under a licensed acupuncturist to minimize the risk of infection due to unsterilized needles. [7]
