Find fibromyalgia relief in Winter Garden
Fibromyalgia can leave Winter Garden residents dealing with widespread pain, fatigue, and mental fog that standard testing never quite explains. At our 424 N Dillard St clinic, Dr. Patrick Russell takes a different approach, using gentle Atlas Orthogonal adjustments to address upper cervical misalignments that may be affecting nervous system function, paired with SoftWave therapy to support the soft-tissue component of fibromyalgia symptoms.
Rather than chasing individual symptoms, Dr. Russell looks at how the upper neck and nervous system may be contributing to the body-wide discomfort so many fibromyalgia patients experience. If you're in Winter Garden and searching for a gentler, whole-body approach to fibromyalgia care, our team is ready to listen and build a plan around your specific needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep working full-time while managing fibromyalgia care?
Many of our Winter Garden patients are professionals and parents juggling demanding schedules alongside fibromyalgia symptoms. Dr. Russell builds care plans with that reality in mind, scheduling upper cervical care and SoftWave sessions around work and family commitments so consistent care doesn't mean stepping back from daily responsibilities.
Does fibromyalgia affect athletes differently, and does that change treatment?
Active adults and athletes in our community often notice fibromyalgia symptoms flare after training or competition, when nervous system strain and muscle fatigue compound. Dr. Russell's familiarity with athletic demands, including connections within the NFL athlete community, informs how he sequences upper cervical care and SoftWave therapy for patients trying to stay active.
My child has been showing signs of chronic widespread pain. Should I bring them in?
Fibromyalgia-like symptoms in younger patients warrant careful evaluation, and our clinical team's pediatric expertise means we approach these cases differently than adult-only presentations. If you're concerned about persistent pain or fatigue in a child or teen, scheduling a consultation lets us assess whether upper cervical function may be playing a role.
How do I fit ongoing SoftWave and upper cervical sessions into a busy family schedule?
Our Dillard St location was built with commuting families and professionals in mind, sitting within easy reach for west Orange County residents heading to or from Orlando. We work with you to structure a realistic visit cadence, so sustained care fits around school runs, work hours, and everything else on your plate.
How We Treat Fibromyalgia
We address the two contributors that most often go unaddressed — how pain is being processed, and the soft tissue that has absorbed years of guarding.
Advanced diagnostics. A thorough history, postural and neurological screening, and precise digital imaging to identify upper cervical misalignment, plus a review of what has already been investigated.
Atlas Orthogonal correction. Instrument-guided, low-force correction of the atlas vertebra. No twisting or forceful manipulation — a deliberate choice for patients whose sensitivity makes conventional adjustment uncomfortable.
SoftWave regenerative therapy. Focused acoustic waves to stimulate circulation and tissue repair in chronically tender regions, without needles or downtime.
Paced, coordinated care. Care is paced to your tolerance and planned around flare-ups, in coordination with the physician or rheumatologist managing your condition — alongside your medical care, never instead of it.
