Persistent pain can affect every part of life. Finding a team that listens is an important first step towards exploring your options.

At Mediterranean Brain & Spine Center in Naxxar, Malta, we welcome local and international patients seeking personalised assessment and non-invasive rehabilitation for fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

Whether you are planning a dedicated healthcare trip or visiting Malta and looking for professional support, our international, multidisciplinary team can help you explore whether our services are appropriate for your needs.

Understanding Fibromyalgia and Persistent Pain

In this episode of The Daily Dose with Dr. Cristin, Dr. Cristin Fitzpatrick discusses how the brain and nervous system process pain, why sensitivity can increase and how these changes may relate to persistent symptoms.

Fibromyalgia is complex, and its exact cause remains unclear. Changes in nervous system pain processing are thought to contribute to the condition. The pain is real, and care should reflect each person’s individual circumstances.

Plan Your Care Before Travelling to Malta

For patients considering travel for rehabilitation, a virtual consultation offers an opportunity to discuss your concerns, review available medical information and explore your suitability for an in-person assessment.

This preliminary discussion can help clarify:

• Your health concerns and rehabilitation goals.

• Whether further medical information or clearance is needed before travel.

• The assessment process and potential program options.

• The time you may need to set aside for care.

Recommendations remain subject to an in-person clinical assessment.

Individualised Rehabilitation During Your Stay

Our 5-day and 10-day Intensive Programs provide a structured option for suitable patients travelling from abroad. Program length and therapies are recommended according to your assessment, tolerance and goals.

Your plan may include physical rehabilitation, movement-based care, pain education and practical lifestyle support. We focus on goals that matter in daily life, such as improving activity tolerance, mobility and participation.

Fibromyalgia often requires a combination of treatments, and results vary. Our rehabilitation services complement your existing medical care.

Supporting Your Progress After You Return Home

Rehabilitation continues beyond your visit. With your consent, our team can collaborate with your healthcare providers at home, sharing findings and recommendations to support continuity of care.
