Fibromyalgia Therapy in Wayne, NJ: A Smarter Approach to Pain Relief

By Dr. Rob Letizia | Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ – Wayne, NJ

💡What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that affects how your nervous system processes pain. It's often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and its causes remain complex. What we do know is that it involves a combination of:

• Widespread musculoskeletal pain
• Chronic fatigue
• Sleep disturbances
• Cognitive difficulties ("fibro fog")
• Sensitivity to touch, sound, and temperature

Fibromyalgia doesn't show up on X-rays or blood tests, which is why it's often overlooked in traditional medical models. But at Spectrum Therapeutics, we look beyond the scan—we evaluate how your body moves, responds to stress, and functions as a whole system.

✅Our Approach to Fibromyalgia Therapy in Wayne, NJ

Unlike cookie-cutter treatments or medication-only approaches, our therapy for fibromyalgia is rooted in functional medicine principles and supported by manual physical therapy and nervous system regulation. Every patient receives a fully individualized plan.

Fibromyalgia is not "in your head"—but it does involve how your nervous system interprets and amplifies pain. Our role is to help you rewire that process through movement, breath, and the right dose of challenge.

🙋Who Can Benefit from Fibromyalgia Rehab?

We work with adults of all ages who are tired of being told to "just rest" or live on painkillers. Many of our patients come to us after years of frustration with conventional care. You might benefit if you experience:

• Ongoing fatigue despite getting sleep
• Generalized muscle pain or stiffness
• Brain fog or memory issues
• Anxiety or depression related to chronic pain
• Little progress with medications alone

Understanding the Impact on Work and Daily Life

Fibromyalgia can significantly limit a person's ability to work due to chronic pain, fatigue, and cognitive issues. Many of our patients struggle not only with the physical symptoms but also with maintaining consistent employment and managing daily responsibilities. The unpredictable nature of flare-ups can make it challenging to meet workplace demands or maintain a regular schedule.

While we focus on helping patients regain function and improve their quality of life through our comprehensive physical therapy approach, we recognize that some individuals may need additional support and resources during their recovery journey.
