  Fibromyalgia is a complex, chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to pressure. For many, conventional treatments offer only limited relief—and the daily impact on quality of life can be profound. Recent clinical observations suggest that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may offer meaningful relief for some fibromyalgia patients, particularly in reducing fatigue, tenderness, and localized inflammation. What Is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia affects the way the brain and spinal cord process pain signals, often amplifying discomfort from even mild pressure. Common symptoms include: Persistent fatigue Widespread muscle pain Tender points (especially around joints) Sleep disturbances Brain fog or difficulty concentrating (“fibro fog”) While medications, exercise, and lifestyle changes help some patients, others struggle to find effective symptom control. How Might PRP Help? PRP is rich in growth factors, anti-inflammatory...
