WELLNESS

​​It’s about restoring function to your nervous system which coordinates every bodily function and this is especially significant for Fibromyalgia, where it is believed that much of the condition emanates from the upper cervical part of the spine. People experience amazing improvements with their health and wellness through the use of consistent chiropractic care.

What is Fibromyalgia?

​You may have had an minor accident, or fallen in a funny way.  As time has gone on you have noticed some gradual changes, especially with general tiredness and moodiness as well as pain in general. Other symptoms can include constipation, frequent disrupted sleep. When someone lives with fibromyalgia, they feel pain on a daily basis.  But it is unpredictable. It moves from one spot to another without reason. Sufferers of fibromyalgia feel extreme fatigue at times and are unable to recharge at night. Often experiencing symptoms beyond their muscles and joints. They cannot focus at work, they feel irritable at times and their whole body seems to be in trouble.
 
Specific symptoms you may notice:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sleep disorders
• Neck and head aches
• IBS (irritable bowel)
• Muscle pain
• Joint pain

The frustration is the inability to diagnose fibromyalgia this problem before doctors rush to prescription medicine or even mental therapy. While this may work for a bit, the symptoms return and the cycle worsens. Digestive aids, sleeping pills and anti-depressants only work as a temporary measure and then lose their effectiveness also. 

Chiropractic treatment for Fibromyalgia

​The sad reality for many who suffer from this problem, is they are not given solutions that actually work. They are not told about how the body has an incredible ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. Did you know for example, many of the foods we commonly eat today can aggravate this condition? Did you know there are many breathing techniques, natural compounds, hands on techniques, stretches and activities that have shown amazing effectiveness?  

​Many patients suffering from this syndrome have turned to chiropractic care and that number is increasing all the time. They are looking for treatment for neck pain, back pain and muscle cramps that often accompany fibromyalgia, and these cramps can be very painful. We are using adjustments to the neck and spine and have found that they can relieve much of the chronic pain that a sufferer has been living with. Treatment and pain management is not overnight, but we have seen as few as ten treatments make a significant difference, helping those patients who are suffering, live better lives with reduced pain and overall symptoms.
