Fibromyalgia is a chronic widespread pain syndrome that involves muscles, connective tissue, bruise and joints in which postural deviations, fatigue, memory problems, lack of concentration and numerous other symptoms occur. Adult women are affected by this disorder about five to nine times more commonly than men. In the United States alone, fibromyalgia affects two to four percent of the population and costs the economy nine billion dollars annually.

Warm Springs Rehabilitation System has developed a comprehensive plan to meet the needs of the community by specifically addressing the special needs of those patients suffering with fibromyalgia as well as the millions who have yet to be diagnosed.
