That's an interesting question! The theory about clamped muscles at the base of the neck isn't something that appears in current well-documented fibromyalgia research, so it's hard to speak to that specifically.

- Central nervous system disturbances
- Brain inflammation
- Genetic predisposition to heightened pain sensitivity
- Exposure to traumatic events or repetitive injuries When it comes to any new device or theory, it's always worth discussing with your doctor before trying anything new. Some treatments that have shown more established promise for fibromyalgia include acupuncture, tai chi, yoga, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
