Overview

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread chronic pain throughout the body, affecting an estimated 12 million people in the United States. People living with fibromyalgia often feel ongoing pain and discomfort in their muscles and connective tissues, along with deep fatigue and a range of other symptoms such as sleep problems and difficulty concentrating. There is no single lab test for fibromyalgia — diagnosis relies on a careful clinical evaluation of your symptoms, history, and how pain responds at characteristic pressure points around the body.

Because fibromyalgia can affect so many parts of daily life, no two patients experience it exactly the same way. At Life Balance Pain Care, Dr. Brad S. Bootstaylor and our team take time to understand how your symptoms show up, starting with a careful evaluation, so we can build a plan around you, not just your diagnosis.

Starts with an evaluation

Care begins with a thorough, patient-first evaluation so your plan is based on your full picture, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Non-surgical, supportive first

We focus on conservative, supportive therapies and lifestyle strategies to help you manage symptoms day to day.

Physician-led care

Your treatment is guided by Dr. Brad S. Bootstaylor, M.D., across our three Atlanta-area locations in Midtown, Camp Creek, and Greenbriar.

How we treat fibromyalgia at Life Balance Pain Care

01

Listen and evaluate

We start with a thorough evaluation to understand your full picture where your pain is, how you sleep, your energy, your mood, and how symptoms affect your work and daily life. This shared, patient-first conversation helps us understand what you are dealing with and where to focus.

02

Build a personalized plan

Because there is no known cure for fibromyalgia, the goal is thoughtful, ongoing management. Your specialist works with you to develop a plan that matches your needs, lifestyle, and preferences, drawing from the right mix of therapies for you.

03

Combine supportive therapies

Your plan may include stress management and regular exercise, healthy eating and weight management, limiting tobacco and caffeine, physical or occupational therapy, massage therapy, and medications when appropriate. We coordinate these so they work together rather than in isolation.

04

Follow up and adjust

Fibromyalgia can change over time, and so should your care. We check in on how you are responding, fine-tune your plan, and stay focused on supporting your function, comfort, and quality of life over the long term.

Symptoms of fibromyalgia

The hallmark of fibromyalgia is widespread pain and discomfort in the muscles and connective tissues. Many people also live with chronic fatigue, problems sleeping, and headaches. Another common symptom is "fibro fog" a frustrating difficulty with concentrating or remembering things. Because the condition can affect several systems at once, it can feel tiring and unpredictable, which is why a coordinated, personalized approach can help.

How fibromyalgia affects daily life

When fibromyalgia goes unmanaged, ongoing pain and fatigue can interfere with your ability to function well at work and in everyday activities. Over time, living with chronic pain can also affect mood, and some people experience anxiety or depression. Recognizing this connection between physical and emotional health is an important part of how we approach care. Our goal is not only to ease your pain but to help you reclaim the parts of life that fibromyalgia has made harder.
