In ' Fibromyalgia Syndrome: a practitioner's guide to treatment', Leon Chaitow & his contributors provide a comprehensive overview of this epidemiologically significant condition & describe the most effective multidisciplinary approaches to treatment. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) was recognised as a syndrome by the WHO in 1990. Sufferers from this complex syndrome may experience a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from headaches & fatigue to widespread muscular pain or irritable bowel syndrome. FMS is the second commonest condition encountered in clinics for the treatment of chronic pain. Because of its many presenting symptoms, different clinicians & therapists become involved in the treatment & management of FMS patients. This text aims to help clinicians & therapists involved in the treatment & management of FMS to better understand the syndrome, & to plan appropriate treatment & management.
