Can Chiropractic Care Help Fibromyalgia?
Chiropractic care, or manual physical therapy, is not just for those who suffer from chronic pain or have been in a car accident.
Chiropractic Care offers pain and stress relief to patients suffering from Fibromyalgia.
Often a simple adjustment to the neck and spine can restore the body’s carriage, or alignment. Many Fibromyalgia sufferers find that aligning the spine provides instant pain relief all over their body.
So How Does Spinal Manipulation Help Fibromyalgia Symptoms?
Spine Manipulation can provide numerous benefits.
- Improved range of motion
- Increased blood flow
- Enhanced endorphin production (the body’s natural pain killers)
A recent survey of Fibromyalgia patients confirmed that chiropractic treatment best relieved their pain. And after only 15 chiropractic treatments, Fibromyalgia patients experienced less pain and fatigue and enjoyed more quality sleep.
Does Chiropractic Care Help Anyone Else?
Whether you’re a busy mom, work at a computer all day or take part in athletic training and competition, the daily stresses of life can take a toll on your body. About 22 million Americans visit chiropractors each year for relief from back and neck pain, auto accidents, sports injuries, headaches, and muscle strains.
Proper joint function is essential to every movement you make throughout your day. And chiropractic care is the most natural form of therapy to adjust your spine and joints into a more natural position. We use manual adjustment techniques to not only maintain proper joint function but also prevent unnecessary wear and tear on your joints.
Why Chiropractic Therapy?
Chiropractic care is a manual physical therapy that relieves Fibromyalgia symptoms and painful spinal conditions. Chiropractic, or pressure point, therapy also helps keep your body strong and disease-
Joint wear and tear can often cause nerve irritation throughout your body. Nearly all nerves pass through or close to your spinal joints. Worn or inflamed joints can cause irritation to those nearby nerves. That inflammation weakens your nerve function and can lead to tissue breakdown and disease.
In manipulation therapy, practitioners use their hands to apply pressure on muscle tissue, and manipulate joints to decrease pain caused by muscle spasms and joint dysfunction.
