Living with fibromyalgia is more than just living with pain. It ‘s waking up exhausted every morning, even after sleeping a solid 8 hours. It ‘s the feeling that something as simple as getting dressed or taking a walk is an effort. And although we do not know exactly why fibromyalgia occurs, there is something important we do know: there is a way to find relief, without secondary effects or invasive treatments.
In this article, we’ll explore how Capenergy’s second generation radiofrequency is positioning itself as an innovative and efficient solution without side effects for the treatment of fibromyalgia and myofascial pain. We’ll explain how it works, why it is so efficient and what benefits it can bring to your clinic and patients from the very first session.
What is fibromyalgia and myofascial pain?
Fibromyalgia is a condition that goes far beyond the typical “everything hurts”. It is a chronic disorder that causes generalized musculoskeletal pain, persistent fatigue and sleep alterations, and in many cases, immense frustration due to the lack of efficient solutions. It especially affects women – around 80% of diagnoses – and it is often accompanied by hypersensitivity to touch and morning stiffness.
Myofascial pain, on the other hand, is a more localized, but no less troublesome condition. It manifests through trigger points in the muscles—those small areas that, when pressed, cause pain and can radiate discomfort to other parts of the body. These points often develop due to overload, sustained stress, or even muscle microtraumas.
Areas most affected by fibromyalgia and myofascial pain
Although pain can be perceived across the entire body, there are certain areas where symptoms tend to be more intense or frequent:
- Cervical area and trapezius muscles: Very common in patients with stress accumulation or bad posture.
- Lumbar and lower back area: Typical in patients who spend many hours standing up or sitting down.
- Shoulders and arms: Very common in patients carrying out repetitive movements or suffering from emotional tension.
- Hips and legs: Frequent in patients with muscle overload and circulatory issues.
The pain is usually diffuse and variable—sometimes dull, other times sharp or stabbing, but it’s always there. And if that alone weren’t enough, it also affects sleep and concentration, creating a cycle of constant discomfort.
Causes and risk factors
No specific cause has been defined for fibromyalgia or myofascial pain, but we do know that some factors can trigger or amplify the symptoms:
- Stress and anxiety: Certain emotional states can increase muscle tension and sensitize the nervous system.
- Previous muscle injuries: an inadequately treated contracture or an old muscle overload can leave a “memory” in the tissue.
- Sleep disorders: A lack of sleep impedes muscle regeneration and increases the perception of pain.
- Chronic inflammation and neurological dysfunction: The neuroinflammatory theory is gaining more and more traction in these conditions.
Repetitive movements or sustained posture: They generate muscle fatigue and facilitate the appearance of trigger points.
When these factors are combined, the body enters a state of hypervigilance and permanent tension, increasing pain. This is why treating the symptoms without looking into the patient ‘s environment, tends to have poor results. Capenergy, on the other hand, offers a solid and efficient therapeutic alternative, backed up by scientific evidence.
Traditional treatments for fibromyalgia relief
For the longest time. fibromyalgia has been a condition that was difficult to treat, mainly because there is no one specific cause or definitive cure. Traditional treatments have focused on symptom relief, improvement of life quality and reduction of the impact on the patient’s everyday life.
Most common conventional treatments
Pharmacological treatment:
Medication has been one of the classic cornerstones of fibromyalgia treatments. Painkillers, antidepressants, and neuropathic pain modulators are prescribed to improve pain tolerance and address fatigue or sleep disturbances. Nevertheless, these drugs do not eliminate the underlying cause and often present side effects.
Traditional physiotherapy:
Manual therapy, combined with gentle stretching exercises, have shown to improve mobility and stiffness and reduce pain. Adjusted physical activity, such as therapeutic pilates or swimming in warm water is also a usual part of therapy.
Psychological therapies:
Emotional support is key. Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy help manage stress more effectively, improve coping with chronic pain, and break the vicious cycle between pain and anxiety.
Changes in lifestyle:
Health professionals usually recommend changes such as the establishment of regular sleep routines, carrying out low impact activities, stress management and a balanced diet to improve general wellbeing.
Although these traditional treatments offer an important advance in the treatment of fibromyalgia, many patients are looking for faster and more efficient solutions without any side effects. This is precisely where Capenergy’s radiofrequency technology makes a difference, by offering a solid and efficient therapeutic alternative, backed up by scientific evidence.
¿How can Capenergy help patients with fibromyalgia or myofascial pain?
When pain becomes constant, diffuse and hard to define, time has come to find solutions that go beyond the traditional methods. Capenergy’s radiofrequency technology offers a revolutionary approach for the treatment of fibromyalgia and myofascial pain addressing its root causes, combining clinical efficiency with a comfortable treatment that respects the patient’s sensitivity.
Through the application of high frequency currents by means of capacitive and resistive electrodes, a profound endothermal effect is generated that stimulates the cell metabolism, boosting the regeneration of the affected tissues. This non-invasive treatment allows working on tense, inflamed or painful muscle areas without further stressing the body.
Benefits of the Capenergy treatment
- Rapid relief of pain and inflammation: From the first sessions, many patients experience a significant reduction of pain. Radiofrequency relaxes the muscles and efficiently reduces inflammation, without the need of medication.
- Improved microcirculation and tissue oxygenation: One of the treatment’s cornerstones is the increased blood flow to the affected area, stimulating cell nutrition, toxin removal and the recovery of muscle vitality.
- Profound muscle relaxation and trigger point release: The thermal action regulates muscle tone and deactivates pain points, which is key in myofascial pain. The patient experiences a progressive and long-lasting sense of well-being.
- Speeding up recovery by up to 50%: Thanks to its power and therapeutic precision, Capenergy’s devices allow for the reduction of treatment times, achieving visible results in less sessions than the conventional therapies.
- Safe, painless and personalized treatment: There are no needles or invasive techniques. Just a pleasant feeling of warmth, adjustable to the patient’s sensitivity, even in more delicate cases.
Furthemore, since there are no side effects nor does the treatment require any downtime, Capenergy is the perfect solution for those wanting to keep up their daily activities while improving their quality of life.
With Capenergy, physiotherapy for patients with fibromyalgia and myofascial pain takes a qualitative leap forward, combining science, technology, and real well-being.
