Fibromyalgia: Proper Diagnosis is Half the Cure – NDNR: David M. Brady, ND, DC, CCN, DACBN
In the past few years Fibromyalgia (FM) has becomes a more accepted diagnosis, to the relief of those suffering its associated symptoms. While the recognition of this condition is of utmost importance, according to Dr. David M Brady, ND, DC, CCN, DACBN in our “Best Article of the Week”, often this diagnosis is given without thorough investigation by the medical professional, potentiating unnecessary and incorrect treatment.
In order to counter this error Dr. Brady does an excellent job not only providing information pertaining the typical FM presentation but also what conditions may be confused with FM, helping the clinician gather a better understanding as to the origin of symptoms and consequently a more informed clinical assessment and treatment prescription. Definitely a great read for those looking to deepen their understanding of FM in order to better serve the health of their clients.
