Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

A broad variety of therapeutic approaches have been described as benefiting patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Since no cause for CFS has been identified and the pathophysiology remains unknown, treatment programs are directed at relief of symptoms, with the goal of the patient regaining some level of pre-existing function and well-being. Although desirable, a rapid return to pre-illness health may not be realistic, and patients who expect this prompt recovery and do not experience it may exacerbate their symptoms because of overexertion, become frustrated, and may become more refractory to rehabilitation.

Walton Rehabilitation Health System offers the following therapeutic options: Outpatient Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Fibromyalgia Aquatics, Acupuncture, Rehab Plus Exercise Program, and Massage.
