Chiropractic care for Fibromyalgia

Chiropractors never claim to “cure” Fibromyalgia but research studies show that Chiropractic is effective in helping patients improve Fibromyalgia conditions. At Beyond Wellness Chiropracctic in Mount Pleasant SC we have seen patients suffering with Fibromyalgia improve their health with Chiropractic.

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread, migrating, and often debilitating pain and fatigue which prevents patients from accomplishing everyday tasks. It affects mostly women between 20 and 50 years old.

It was originally thought that the symptoms of Fibromyalgia were caused by stress and worry, which caused additional muscle tension. Although recent studies of people with Fibromyalgia do not show that stress itself causes Fibromyalgia, stress and anxiety can make your condition worse. In fact, the pain and fatigue of Fibromyalgia often cause stress and worry, which in turn, can increase the pain and fatigue – thus creating a vicious cycle.

Fibromyalgia appears to result from a Central Nervous System derangement – the peripheral tissues and tender points are secondary phenomena. Our Little Silver chiropractors correct vertebral subluxations by physically adjusting the spine. This restores the Nervous System to an optimum level of function, which maximizes the body’s inherent healing ability. Chiropractic adjustments restore normal nerve function; improve spinal biomechanics, range of motion, and posture – all of which are essential in improving Fibromyalgia.

Among many potential causes, Fibromyalgia can be caused by bad posture, and any attempt to relieve symptoms without addressing the cause is useless. Chiropractic has proven to be a safe and effective method of resolving neurological conditions such as Fibromyalgia and should be considered as a “first choice” by patients suffering with this condition.
