Dr. Michael Jadali has been working for many years to develop an innovative approach to treat Fibromyalgia patients. These methods have been taught at many progressive centers around the country. “The most important aspect of the treatment is a thorough evaluation of the patient”, says Dr. Jadali. The new research in Fibromyalgia has strongly suggested involving global hormonal imbalances that include thyroid, cortisol and female hormones. This phenomenon has been labeled as the “Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis or HPA axis for short.” Briefly, this means deregulation of Thyroid Hormones, Cortisol system, Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone in addition to a host of other related markers as an adjunct or direct underlying metabolic pathways. Dr. Jadali reminds us that doctors and patients should not fall victim of “normal lab values”. We need to consider the correlation among the hormones and not their absolute values. Furthermore, there are few viruses that could also potentially causing similar symptoms that need to be investigated as well. His success in treating Fibromyalgia is a fruit of combining the science of modern with botanical as well as Natural medicine along with rationalized vitamin therapy based on the patient’s condition. Having an additional degree in Pharmacy, Dr. Jadali’s vast knowledge of medication is a plus to prevent medication interactions as well as managing their side effects more effectively. “Body needs to be treated as a WHOLE and not as a single compartment”, says Dr. Jadali. Use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments in select patients helps to mobilize the body’s natural dynamic flow that in conjunction with metabolic workup that Dr. Jadali recommends have helped thousands of Fibro patients to become more functional and allow them to enjoy their life more fully. Additionally, a complete survey of female and male hormonal changes is extremely important in FMS. In female patients, surgical removal of uterus and/or ovaries play a major role in pain augmentation circuits in susceptible patients. You need to come and see it for yourself as to how a truly integrated medicine works for your pain. Our Center is able to treat fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by discovering each individual's personal symptoms and causes. Our treatments also DO include pain medications OR anti-depressants BUT tailored to each patient’s diagnosis and symptoms. However, the main focus remains in finding and treating the probable causes of the disease rather than mere symptomatic treatments.
