The Frida Center for Fibromyalgia is an integrative medical clinic founded by a physician who has personal experience with this complex illness. Dr. Ginevra Liptan developed fibromyalgia as a medical student, and spent many years using herself as a guinea-pig in a search for effective treatments.

At the Frida Center, she and our entire staff dedicate their time exclusively to the treatment of fibromyalgia, using the most effective and well-researched therapies from both conventional and alternative medicine.

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and fatigue that affects 6-10 million people in the United States. Historically it has been a controversial and poorly understood diagnosis. Huge progress in research over the past decade has established dysfunction in sleep, pain and the stress response in fibromyalgia. As medical understanding of fibromyalgia has increased, so have our treatment options.

There are effective treatments from both alternative and Western medicine that can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. In particular, addressing sleep dysfunction can result in impressive improvement in both pain and fatigue. A specialized manual therapy called myofascial release is very helpful in reducing fibromyalgia pain.

The Frida Center utilizes an evidence-based approach from current scientific research. We do not have a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
