Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a poorly understood disorder characterized by extreme fatigue and gnawing, burning, constant pain in the muscles, tendons, and joints. Other symptoms include insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, depression, and/or anxiety. Although there is no medical cure for fibromyalgia, we have many patients who have found that our holistic approach to health and chiropractic treatment helps decrease the symptoms and pain associated with fibromyalgia. Therefore, freeing the body of subluxation (interference with the nervous system) so that the body’s inherent healing mechanisms can take over, may provide some analgesic side effects. We also examine nutritional considerations with these patients to ensure that the patient’s body is getting what he/she needs to improve.
