Overview
Chronic widespread pain which includes fibromyalgia, central sensitisation syndrome, and generalised musculoskeletal pain is one of the most complex and misunderstood conditions in medicine. Characterised by persistent pain affecting multiple body regions, it is frequently accompanied by fatigue, non-restorative sleep, cognitive difficulties (‘brain fog’), and mood changes. Despite its complexity, effective management is possible with the right specialist approach. Dr Malik’s biopsychosocial care model which he holds specialist qualification in through his FFPMRCA addresses every dimension of widespread pain: physical, psychological, and social. The aim is not just pain reduction but genuine restoration of function and quality of life.
