Dr. Kedwards has successfully been treating Fibromyalgia for over 25 years. She gained her knowledge and experience with this condition through having it and overcoming it in herself, and then applying that knowledge to those she has treated throughout the years. She is the author of the groundbreaking book “FIBROMYALGIA – What You Need To Know”.

Her approach is holistic and her protocols are based on the individual, not just a “one size fits all” approach. After a thorough examination, including necessary lab tests, she works to address the causes rather than the symptoms. And her results speak for themselves. Just listen to a few of the testimonials of patients she has treated.
