Expert Discusses Ongoing Fibromyalgia Pain Following Accident

I have treated many people with myofascial pain syndrome – and its more widespread version fibromyalgia – over my 20+ year clinical career. I lecture about myofascial pain syndrome as part of my course on Soft Tissue Mobilization, which is a very relevant treatment for myofascial pain syndrome, though certainly only a part of the answer. Trauma is certainly a possible cause of myofascial pain syndrome, and repeated trauma may also be a trigger for re-occurrence of symptoms for this patient going forward.
