Fibromyalgia and Muscle Pain

Your Guide to Self-Treatment

By: Chaitow ND DO, Leon

Do you remember the last time you had the flu—the aches, pains, stiffness, headache, lethargy, inability to concentrate, discomfort and sheer unpleasantness from it? Imagine having the flu all the time—for months or years—now you have an idea of what fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) can be like. As one of those misunderstood and often overlooked syndromes, its primary symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses. Sufferers experience widespread muscle pain, chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep, bowel disorders, headaches, anxiety, PMS, and more. Leon Chaitow, one of the leading experts on FMS, evaluates the most common treatments for fibromyalgia, including massage and bodywork, hydrotherapy, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, skin brushing, homeopathy, nutrition, antioxidants and other supplements, and relaxation techniques, and advises on what works and what doesn't. Fibromyalgia and Muscle Pain is a practical guide that contains a range of self-tests and checklists to help pinpoint symptoms, and it arms the patient with all of the necessary information they need to take charge of the process that can help restore them to good health.

Naturopathic Physical Medicine

Theory and Practice for Manual Therapists and Naturopaths

By: Leon Chaitow

NATUROPATHIC PHYSICAL MEDICINE provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following: enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands; modification or removal of adaptive load factors; and symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes.
