Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is a complex and debilitating condition marked by severe, persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest and worsens with physical or mental activity. ME/CFS affects multiple systems in the body, including the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, making diagnosis and management challenging. While the exact cause is unknown, ME/CFS often develops following infections, stress, or trauma. Our clinicians can help create a comprehensive management plan, including lifestyle modifications, pacing techniques, and symptom-focused therapies to improve daily function and quality of life.
