Battling pain and discomfort from fibromyalgia? Start living life again with chiropractic care.
The CDC states that there are about 4 million people in the US (about 2 percent of the adult population) with fibromyalgia, a chronic and painful condition that not only results in body pain and stiffness, but also affects a person’s sleep, environmental sensitivities, and could also produce headaches, fatigue, and problems with memory, focus, and concentration.
Experience fibromyalgia pain relief.
Fibromyalgia can be an incredibly difficult condition to live with. Modern medical fibromyalgia treatments can be ineffective, and often rely on masking symptoms to provide relief.
What are the symptoms of fibromyalgia?
Symptoms of fibromyalgia include physical pain, which can feel like burning sensations, tenderness, tingling, numbness, and tightness. The body can also begin to feel stiff, resulting in a lack of mobility, making it difficult to get in and out of bed, seated positions, and into or out of vehicles. Fibromyalgia can also cause lethargy and exhaustion, low sleep quality, headaches, migraines, and can contribute to mental stress, anxiety, and depression.
What causes fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is known to be caused by stress and stressful events. Prolonged periods of stress can cause the body to become inflamed, interfering with the proper functioning of the body’s systems and forcing the body out of balance. When this happens, the painful, life-interrupting symptoms of fibromyalgia can arise frequently and unexpectedly.
Events that are known to trigger fibromyalgia are serious injuries like car accidents, psychologically stressful events, illnesses, PTSD, and prolonged physical exertion/repetitive movements.
Does fibromyalgia ever go away?
Fibromyalgia can go “dormant,” meaning the symptoms temporarily disappear. This can happen in times of low physical and mental stress, and can last for any length of time. However, fibromyalgia often “flares up” when mental or physical stress arises, which can compound stressful situations and make it difficult to make progress.
How can chiropractic care help treat fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is widely accepted as a chronic condition that has no cure. Chiropractic care has been shown to significantly reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain, insomnia, body aches, lethargy, anxiety, stiffness, immobility, and psychological stress.
Chiropractic care treats three major body systems: the nervous system, the muscular system, and the skeletal system. These three systems affect the entire body globally, and when brought back into balance, can create major improvements in overall health and fibromyalgia symptoms.
