Chronic and Long Term Conditions Treatment

Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or long‑standing pain are health problems that last for months or years rather than days or weeks. They often do not have a single simple cause but are thought to arise from a combination of factors, including how the nervous system processes pain, past illnesses or injuries, stress, sleep disruption, hormones, and lifestyle influences.

Living with these conditions can affect sleep, mood, work, and confidence, often leaving you feeling as if your body never fully switches “off” from discomfort. These conditions usually involve a mix of widespread pain, sensitivity, fatigue, and reduced tolerance to everyday activity, so support needs to be gentle, paced, and holistic rather than focused only on one painful area.

At Lumena Clinic in Milton Keynes, osteopathic care aims to work alongside your existing medical management to help you feel more comfortable and in control of your body. Treatment uses gentle, hands‑on techniques to ease muscle tension, support joint mobility, and encourage calmer breathing and relaxation, combined with simple movement strategies, pacing advice, and helpful routines to make daily life more manageable.

Osteopathy may be suitable if you experience:

  • Widespread muscle and joint pain or sensitivity, as in fibromyalgia
  • Persistent fatigue or post‑exertional flare‑ups, as seen in chronic fatigue or long‑term pain conditions
  • Stiffness and tension that make it hard to stay active, even though tests may appear normal
  • Ongoing pain that has been medically investigated but still impacts your quality of life

Hands‑on care is always adapted to your comfort levels, with a focus on calming rather than provoking symptoms, and is best combined with gradual activity, self‑management strategies, and support from your wider healthcare team.
