Chronic Pain & Fatigue Treatment
Living with pain or exhaustion that won't let up? You don't have to just manage — there may be a better path.
Dr. Lucy Brooks takes a whole-body approach to chronic pain and fatigue — looking at the patterns behind your pain rather than just the symptoms. Whether it's fibromyalgia, back pain, migraines, or persistent fatigue, treatment is personalized and designed to address root causes alongside your existing medical care.
Common concerns we discuss
Chronic pain and fatigue are exhausting in every sense — physically, emotionally, and practically. Many patients arrive having tried multiple approaches without lasting results. South Florida TCM looks at the full pattern of what's happening in the body rather than treating each symptom in isolation.

Treatment planning
A personalized treatment approach
Treatment starts with a thorough conversation about your pain history, patterns, sleep, stress, and what you've already tried. From there, Dr. Lucy may combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, and therapeutic massage into a plan built around your specific needs.
When useful, infrared therapy may also be added as a supporting modality for circulation and deep tissue recovery, but it is always secondary to the main treatment strategy.
How treatment is built
Start with a thorough intake
Visits begin with a detailed conversation about your pain history, patterns, sleep, stress load, and previous treatments — to understand the full picture.
Identify the pattern behind the pain
Dr. Lucy looks at the underlying imbalances contributing to your pain — circulation, inflammation, nervous system regulation, and tissue health.
Adjust as your body responds
Treatment is refined over time so acupuncture, herbs, massage, and supportive therapies stay matched to your progress.
Treatment rail
Modalities are combined intentionally rather than offered as interchangeable add-ons.
