Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Support in Mooresville, NC

Common Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Patterns We Treat

People seek support for:

• Widespread muscle pain or tenderness

• Fatigue or “crashes” after activity

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Sleep disturbances

• Sensitivity to pressure, temperature, or touch

• Headaches or migraines

• Neck, shoulder, or back tension

• Digestive discomfort

• Anxiety or stress-related tension

• Feeling “wired but tired”

Fibromyalgia often overlaps with chronic fatigue, TMJ tension, headaches, and digestive issues—which is why a whole-body approach is essential.

How Acupuncture Helps Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain

Acupuncture is commonly used as supportive care for fibromyalgia because it targets the systems most involved in chronic pain—pain processing, stress signaling, muscle tension patterns, and sleep regulation.

1) Calms an overactive nervous system

Fibromyalgia often involves heightened pain sensitivity (central sensitization). Acupuncture can help turn down the “volume” of pain signals and support more regulated nervous system function over time.

2) Improves circulation and muscle relaxation

Gentle needling can increase local circulation and help muscles soften—important for widespread tenderness, stiffness, and “always tight” pain patterns.

3) Supports better sleep and recovery

Sleep is a major driver of symptom severity. Many patients report deeper, more restorative sleep as treatment progresses—often one of the first meaningful wins.

4) Reduces stress and flare-trigger patterns

Stress can amplify symptoms. Acupuncture supports a shift toward a calmer, more regulated state, which can reduce flare frequency and intensity for many people.

5) Supports energy and mental clarity

When pain and sleep improve, many patients notice better focus, steadier stamina, and fewer “crash cycles.”

Our Approach at Balance Naturopathic & Acupuncture

Your plan is personalized and may include:

1) Gentle, targeted acupuncture

We use a calming, low-intensity style designed for sensitive systems—supportive, not overstimulating.

2) Nervous system regulation

We focus on points and strategies that support pain modulation, stress resilience, and restorative sleep.

3) Electro-acupuncture (when appropriate)

When it’s a good fit and well-tolerated, electro-acupuncture can be especially helpful for pain modulation and muscle tenderness in fibromyalgia.

4) Support for overlapping symptoms

We commonly address headaches, TMJ tension, digestive discomfort, sleep issues, and stress patterns—because fibromyalgia rarely shows up alone.

5) Integrative recommendations

Simple home strategies may include gentle mobility, heat therapy, pacing tools, and sleep-supportive habits.

How Many Sessions Are Typically Needed?

Fibromyalgia and chronic pain are long-standing patterns, so treatment is gradual and supportive. Many patients start with:

• 1–2 visits per week for 3–6 weeks, then

• Taper based on progress, energy, and goals

Your timeline depends on:

• Symptom severity

• Stress and sleep quality

• Co-existing issues (TMJ, headaches, digestive symptoms)

• Activity level and daily demands

Our goal is clear, measurable progress: better sleep, less tenderness, fewer flares, improved function, and more “good days.”
