Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Fibromyalgia has many different neurological and physical symptoms. One of the major symptoms is pain along certain tender points within the body. Patients feel chronic pain in these areas. They may feel stiffness, pins and needles, and tingling sensations as well.
Some patients feel more tired, anxious, confused, irritable, depressed, or forgetful. Others get GI symptoms that leave them uncomfortable. Muscle tiredness and muscle spasms can make it difficult for fibro sufferers to enjoy activities they used to love.
How Our Chiropractor Treats Fibromyalgia Pain
Our chiropractor takes a whole person approach to fibromyalgia care. We start with a health history, which includes asking about your symptoms and lifestyle. We find a correlation between lifestyle habits and fibromyalgia symptoms. We may recommend changes to make that can decrease the symptoms you feel and support your care.
Our hands-on treatment begins with chiropractic adjustments that remove subluxations along the spine. These blockages prevent your nervous system from allowing brain-body communication. As a result, pain and illness can develop. As we clean out this communication channel, your nervous system can treat pain and inflammation so you feel better.
Chiropractic treatments can relieve tightness in the muscles, bringing back a greater range of motion and flexibility for fibromyalgia sufferers. This can improve the quality of life.
To complement chiropractic care, we can deliver therapeutic massage. Massage has long been known to relieve muscular tension and soothe inflammation within the body. Since massage release endorphins, this treatment can relieve some of the mood symptoms of fibromyalgia and promote better sleep.
If we feel it can provide pain relief, we may recommend dietary changes or nutritional supplements, which can decrease inflammation.
