Fibromyalgia Care · Charlottesville, VA

Fibromyalgia Pain Management in Charlottesville, VA

Widespread pain, fatigue, and tender points don't have to run your life. We offer gentle, whole-body care so relief fits fibromyalgia's ups and downs.

Is this you?

People come to us with fibromyalgia symptoms like widespread muscle and joint pain that moves around the body; persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest; tender points that flare with pressure, stress, or weather changes; brain fog and trouble concentrating; sleep that doesn't feel restorative; and heightened sensitivity to touch, temperature, or light.

If any of that sounds familiar, there's a gentler path forward.

Our approach: calm, pace, rebuild

Fibromyalgia care isn't about pushing through pain — it's about working with your nervous system, not against it. We start by calming an overactive pain response with gentle hands-on work and acupuncture. Then we carefully rebuild capacity with paced, low-impact movement, so activity stops feeling like a setback. Every step is dosed to what your body can handle that day.

How we treat fibromyalgia

Your plan is built around what your body actually needs, drawing from:

What to expect

Your first visit starts with a real conversation — where the pain shows up, what makes it worse, and what your nervous system needs to settle. We build a paced plan and start gently, adjusting session by session based on how you respond. Most people notice better sleep and steadier energy before pain fully resolves; lasting change comes gradually as your system learns to trust movement again.

Frequently asked questions

Will treatment make my symptoms flare?

We dose everything conservatively and adjust in real time. If a technique or amount of movement doesn't agree with you, we scale back immediately — the goal is steady progress, not a flare.

Is fibromyalgia treatable with massage and acupuncture?

Many people with fibromyalgia find real relief from gentle hands-on therapy and acupuncture, which can calm an overactive nervous system and ease widespread muscle tension, though results vary person to person.

Do I need a diagnosis first?

A formal fibromyalgia diagnosis from your physician is helpful but not required to start — we'll work with whatever information you have and coordinate with your medical team as needed.

How many sessions will I need?

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition, so we focus on a sustainable rhythm rather than a fixed number of sessions. We'll set expectations together after your assessment.
