How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain condition. It can be difficult to treat since it’s a chronic condition and is difficult to diagnose. Many doctors use pain medications to treat the symptoms. At Eulo Chiropractic Center in Sewell, we provide treatment and reduce your pain without having to rely on medication.

What Causes Fibromyalgia?

Unfortunately, many medical scientists don’t know what causes it, but researchers think that the condition changes the way the brain deals with pain. This change causes the painful sensations to be spread through the body and amplified.

The condition can develop quickly after a physical trauma or stress, such as surgery or an infection. It can also develop more gradually without any triggers. Symptoms include excessive sleeping, pain, mood swings, memory loss, fatigue, depression, and mental fuzziness.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic care helps realign the body and re-establish the connection between the nerves and nervous system. It can reset the nervous system so the brain processes pain better. This can help since the pain is believed to be caused by the central nervous system.

Physical Therapy

Fibromyalgia can cause muscle pain so people stop moving because it hurts too much. When someone stops moving, they lose muscle tone, which can make the condition even worse.

Lifestyle Adjustments

Our chiropractor may make certain recommendations regarding your lifestyle. This can include incorporating exercise into your routine or helping to control the pain without medication. For example, someone suffering from fibromyalgia who spends most of the day sitting behind a desk may be advised to take walks periodically. Lifestyle recommendations will depend on the patient’s lifestyle and everyday activities.

Nutritional Changes

Nutrition is an important part of maintaining the body and can alleviate your symptoms. Our chiropractor may recommend changes to include certain supplements and make some dietary changes. This can help with the physical aspects as well as the psychological ones related to this condition.
