Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia was coined in 1981 but has been observed throughout the centuries under many other pseudonyms.  Lacking objective findings, even today, it is estimated to affect 2-8% of the population and is stratified across race and ethnicity.  This module will educate the osteopath on the ubiquitous nature of complaints and how best to tackle them with a holistic approach for both the physical and emotional manifestations.  Fibromyalgia, while underreported, is a comorbidity with an exceeding number of musculoskeletal complaints and emotional maladies.
