Why Chiropractic / Chiropractic for Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia causes chronic pain throughout the body as well as sensitivity to pressure.  Sufferers of this syndrome often also experience intense fatigue, trouble sleeping and stiff joints. Due to these symptoms, those with fibromyalgia usually also experience anxiety and depression. Since there is no real cure for this disorder it is necessary to control the symptoms to allow those with fibromyalgia to live a normal, pain-free life.
 
Fibromyalgia is a debilitating syndrome that has the ability to both mentally and physically breakdown sufferers. It is important to find a treatment plan that meets all your needs.

Chiropractic is a treatment that has shown promising results in patients suffering from fibromyalgia. It causes people to experience less back, neck and leg pain frequently. Chiropractic is able to manipulate the neck and spine in a way that provides relief for patients. Many fibromyalgia sufferers have what is called upper cervical spinal stenosis. This is when the upper spine coverings become compressed, causing severe pain. When chiropractic adjustments are done on the spine, the compression is released. When the spine is better aligned, pain levels go down.

There have been many studies done that analyze whether chiropractic treatment is providing real help to those suffering from fibromyalgia. One in particular was conducted in 1985, when 81 fibromyalgia patients were asked what type of treatment they thought best helped relieve their pain levels. Many opted for chiropractic, claiming it was the best at managing their body aches. Not only does chiropractic help lower pain, but it also is able to allow sufferers to sleep better and experience less fatigued during the day.

Chiropractic is a generally low risk treatment that can bring about lasting results. It is an especially good option if you are looking for a way to get all natural relief without the use of medications. If you are suffering from fibromyalgia it could be worth making an appointment with a chiropractic professional. It could put you on the path to living a pain-free life.
