​Fibromyalgia:

How chiropractic care can help​

 

Often misdiagnosed, fibromyalgia is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder globally. This chronic condition can be recognized by pain in multiple joints and muscles, severely tender skin and tissues and overall fatigue. Because there is no objective way to measure these symptoms and they vary from person to person, the cause of fibromyalgia is not clearly identified.

The lack of ability to properly test for fibromyalgia contributes significantly to the misdiagnosis of the illness.

Listed below are various symptoms that individuals with fibromyalgia may also encounter: ​Trouble sleeping, Fatigue,

Sleeping for long periods of time without feeling rested, Depression, Headaches, Anxiety, Inability to focus, Dull aching or pain in the lower abdomen.

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method for controlling and alleviating inflammation and discomfort associated with fibromyalgia. Regular chiropractic treatment offers fibromyalgia patients a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive option for managing pain and swelling, serving as an alternative to commonly prescribed medications.

Chiropractors administer a non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic treatments aim to alleviate inflammation and enhance the function of joints and the nervous system by alleviating joint restrictions and misalignments in the spine and other areas of the body. Improving joint mobility, enhancing nervous system function, and maintaining spinal health can help your body effectively cope with fibromyalgia symptoms.

Listed below are a few of the health advantages that chiropractic care and adjustments can offer individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia: ​Decreased inflammation, Reduced pain and discomfort, Improved range of motion, Increased muscle tone and strength, Improved flexibility.
