What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a disorder that affects the musculoskeletal system and causes widespread pain. The most common symptoms of this condition include:

  • Dull, throbbing, aching, or sharp pain or tenderness all over the body
  • Muscle pain
  • Sleep problems
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Morning stiffness
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, arms, and legs
  • Painful menstrual cramps
  • Headaches

Probable Causes of Fibromyalgia

While there does not seem to be one specific cause of fibromyalgia, some of the most common contributing causes are the following:

  • Genetics: One of the main contributing factors to fibromyalgia is genetics. You can get it from one or both of your parents.
  • Diseases:  Arthritis and certain infections cause this disorder.
  • Gender: Although both genders can develop this condition, women are more likely to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
  • Physical or Emotional Abuse: Children who have been physically or emotionally abused are more likely to develop this condition in adulthood.
  • Sedentary Lifestyles: Those who are not active enough are more likely to develop this condition over time.

Chiropractic Treatment for Fibromyalgia

If you are looking for chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia, we are here to help. One of the main ways we can help is by administering chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments are very effective in treating pain at pressure points in the neck, back, shoulders, and other joints. Moreover, they can also eliminate pain from headaches and other issues. Since fibromyalgia causes severe pain, many people with it stop moving, which affects their muscle tone. Our chiropractor will recommend several strengthening exercises to help prevent this issue. Our doctor will suggest lifestyle changes to help minimize the pain and help you control it without depending on medications.
