Understanding Fibromyalgia and How
Chiropractic Treatment Can Help
According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), Fibromyalgia is defined as a history of pain in the upper and lower, left and right sides of your body lasting more than 3 months. The ACR also described 10 characteristic tender points on the body that are associated with fibromyalgia. In order to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a person must have 11 or more tender points. In addition to pain and fatigue,
people who have fibromyalgia may experience:
sleep disturbances
morning stiffness
headaches
irritable bowel syndrome
painful menstrual periods
numbness or tingling of the extremities
restless leg syndrome
temperature sensitivity
cognitive and memory problems (sometimes referred to as "fibro fog")
persistent back aches
leg cramps
foot pain
and more
Chiropractic Care and Fibromyalgia
Chiropractic care is becoming increasingly popular among fibromyalgia suffers because of the pain and stress relief that it offers in short periods of time to help you get back to enjoying life fast. Chiropractors aim to solve pain and related symptoms by correcting the imbalances in your skeletal structure. Through a series of techniques, including stretches, adjustments, and manipulations, your chiropractor will restore your skeletal balance, thereby eliminating any pain symptoms. Because simple adjustments to the neck and spine can restore the carriage of the whole body, a lot of fibromyalgia sufferers find that alignments of the spine can significantly reduce pain all over their bodies.
How Effective is Chiropractic Care in Fibromyalgia Patients?
Numerous studies have been conducted analyzing the benefits of chiropractic care in fibromyalgia patients. A 1985 study asked 81 patients to indicate drug or alternative treatments that best relieved their pain. Chiropractic care treatment scored high in this study. Another study examined the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms. After just 15 treatments, fibromyalgia patients suffered from less pain and fatigue, and actually enjoyed better sleep quality.
