About Secondary Fibromyalgia

Secondary Fibromyalgia management in Pediatric Orthopedics is a specialized, multidisciplinary approach focused on diagnosing and treating widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue in children that arises as a consequence of an underlying orthopedic condition. Unlike primary fibromyalgia, this form is directly linked to issues like juvenile arthritis, hypermobility syndromes, or post-traumatic pain. The pediatric orthopedic specialist leads a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause, integrating physical therapy, tailored exercise regimens, pain management strategies, and family education. The goal is not a single surgical procedure but a sustained treatment plan to alleviate pain, improve function, and enhance the child's quality of life by addressing both the primary orthopedic problem and its secondary pain amplification effects.

Key Highlights

    Multidisciplinary care led by a pediatric orthopedic specialist familiar with childhood musculoskeletal disorders.Focuses on treating the underlying orthopedic cause to alleviate secondary widespread pain.Personalized, non-operative treatment plans including physical therapy and pain management.Aims to restore function, improve sleep, and enhance overall quality of life for the child.Involves family education and support for long-term management.

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
