Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Functional Neurology and Integrative Care to restore mitochondrial energy and calm the neuro-inflammatory pain response
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM) are complex, whole-body disorders that involve unrelenting fatigue, widespread pain, and non-restorative sleep. These conditions represent a profound energy crisis and a state of chronic neuro-inflammation where the brain and body communication system is on permanent high alert.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we recognize that telling patients with ME/CFS or FM to "just exercise more" is often harmful. We view these conditions as a failure of the neuro-immune and metabolic systems, often triggered by viral illness, immune stress, or trauma.
We utilize the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a personalized, science-based approach that targets the root cause, focusing on repairing mitochondrial function, calming the central nervous system's pain amplification loop, and reducing systemic inflammation.
Our framework for energy and pain recovery is built on five essential pillars to help patients break the fatigue cycle, reduce widespread pain, and regain purpose:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Fatigue & Pain Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with:
-
Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM)
Crash periods after minimal mental or physical activity (a hallmark of ME/CFS).
-
Widespread, Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain (Allodynia)
Pain sensitivity across the body that doesn't resolve with rest (a hallmark of Fibromyalgia).
-
Non-Restorative Sleep
Waking up feeling exhausted despite getting a full night's rest.
-
Profound Cognitive Dysfunction
Severe brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and short-term memory issues.
-
Overlapping Conditions
Including headaches, IBS, and light/sound sensitivity.
Our care focuses on using Functional Medicine to boost cellular energy and Functional Neurology to decrease the pain-sensing areas of the brain.
How We Assess Fatigue and Pain Dysregulation
Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation that looks deeply into both the brain's processing and the body's energy production.
Our Testing Includes:
Neurological Assessments
Eye movement analysis and sensory-motor testing to assess neuro-processing speed and the integrity of the brain's pain filter.
Limbic Brain Testing
Identifying patterns related to anxiety, stress, and fight/flight states that perpetuate fatigue and pain signals.
Laboratory Testing
Essential evaluation of mitochondrial function, chronic viral/immune triggers, oxidative stress, nutrient status, and gut health.
This whole-body assessment allows us to create a clear strategy for reducing central nervous system hyperexcitability and restoring the body's capacity to generate energy.
Your Next Step
Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia may be part of your story, but they don't have to define your future. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe every patient can reconnect with resilience, purpose, and health.
If you’re ready to explore a new path — one that addresses the whole you, not just your symptoms — we invite you to take the first step.
