I'd like to tell you a true story about pain...

My name is Dr. Greg Fors and I am a 1982 graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic, a Board-certified Neurologist, nationally certified in acupuncture and certified in Applied Herbal Sciences.

I want to be transparent with you and relate a personal story. It's because of this story that you are even reading this page. When my daughter was in high school she developed mysterious and complex symptoms. She was experiencing flu-like symptoms, aching, fatigue and pain. Perhaps the same symptoms that you are experiencing now. She was eventually diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - a catch-all term that is basically meaningless because it doesn't tell us what the cause is or how to fix it.

The pain got so intense that she had to crawl up the stairs to get to her upstairs bedroom. We took her everywhere and no one seemed to have answers for her. Unless you have been through this as well, it's difficult to fully describe the pain a parent feels watching their child suffer. This inspired me to further my education and become a neurologist, as well as doing my own independent research. I needed answers. Real answers. Answers that would get the results I wanted as a father.

Well it didn't happen overnight, but I began to discover the solutions to my daughter's debilitating health problems. I amassed hundreds, if not thousands of hours of research. This culminated in her recovery to the point that she was able to participate in many activities in high school like golf, dance line, marching band, musicals and plays. Today, I am happy to say that she is a healthy, beautiful young lady. In fact, she runs my functional medicine clinic in Blaine, MN!! I couldn't do it without her.

It's hard to imagine where my daughter would be if we had accepted what traditional medicine was telling us about fibromyalgia. "Just accept it. It's a lifelong disease. Take these drugs to help with the pain."

With this experience, I was inspired to write the highly acclaimed book "Why We Hurt and How We Heal", a comprehensive Functional Medicine guide to healing fibromyalgia and chronic pain. It is over 400 pages of practical, no-fluff, take-control-of-your-health information. It's available on Amazon and many book stores.

So is helping people to be able to heal from fibromyalgia personal for me? The obvious answer is yes. But there is one last thing if you are considering which healthcare professional to go to to treat your fibromyalgia and chronic pain and/or fatigue. You see, I didn't mention that I also had fibromyalgia!

That's right, I am a doctor that had (past tense) fibromyalgia. I know how you feel for I have helped thousands of patients who've been down this road. I know you've seen everyone, tried everything and still you suffer. Possibly you are burnt out and beginning to lose hope. But the numerous fibromyalgia patients I have helped will tell you there is hope and you can achieve real healing! You can gain optimal health and vitality.

If you are reading this, my guess is that you or someone you love suffers from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain. I'm here to tell you there absolutely are answers. There is hope. There is healing. I can say this so authoritatively because I have personally witnessed it in my own family and my own life as you now know.

One of my patients, Jay, spent $250,000 trying to solve his chronic pain. Here is what he had to say:

"My name is Jay White and I spent the last 25 years trying to solve a terrible chronic pain problem. It was labeled many different things including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and forget-about-it-you'll-have-it-forever. I saw over 50 doctors, both traditional and alternative. Nothing helped. Then, something wonderful happened. I got a FREE consultation from Dr. Fors and my long, mind-numbing pilgrimage of pain and staggering expense started to come to an end."
