What does fibromyalgia mean?

Fibromyalgia, often misdiagnosed, is the most common musculoskeletal disease in the world. With generalized joint and muscle pain, areas of tenderness and/or general weakness, this long-term or chronic condition may be established. There is no definite cause of fibromyalgia, because these signs can not be assessed by testing and are subjective to the person.

In the misdiagnosis of the condition, the lack of ability to screen for fibromyalgia plays a major part.

Below are some signs that can also occur in people with fibromyalgia:

• Tiredness
• Sleeping Trouble
• Sleeping without getting rested for long stretches of time
• Headache
• The Depression
• The Fear
• Inability to concentrate or problems paying attention
• Pressure in the lower belly, or dull pain

How Does Fibromyalgia Benefit Patients with Chiropractic Care?

A better way to treat and alleviate swelling and discomfort caused by fibromyalgia may be chiropractic treatment. Routine chiropractic therapy offers fibromyalgia treatment to patients who are a convenient, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to pharmaceutical or over-the-counter pain drugs (OTCs), which are widely administered to patients to help them relieve their pain and swelling.

A gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment, known as chiropractic correction, is offered by chiropractors. In an attempt to minimize pain and enhance the function of both the injured joint and the nervous system, chiropractic changes reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body has the potential to help control symptoms caused by fibromyalgia by increasing joint stability and enhancing the nervous system function and spinal health.                          

Here are some of the health advantages that fibromyalgia patients can receive from chiropractic treatment and chiropractic adjustments:                                                           

• Decreased pain and discomfort
• Reduced inflammation
• Increased motion spectrum
• Increased versatility
• Increased tone and strength of muscles
