Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain throughout the joints, muscles, tendons and soft tissues of the body. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with this condition, you don’t need to live with the discomfort every day. A chiropractor can help with pain management to significantly improve your quality of life.

How a Chiropractor Helps With Fibromyalgia Pain Management

What They’ll Do

Your chiropractor will analyze your condition, needs, and goals to create a personalized treatment plan. They may use a mixture of some common treatments to manage your symptoms. The most common is the chiropractic adjustment.

This treatment re-aligns your spine so the body’s central nervous system can process pain accurately. This is particularly important for fibromyalgia patients since much of the pain they experience is a result of the central nervous system receiving inaccurate pain signals.

They may also recommend physical therapy to maintain muscle mass. Losing muscle tone may often make symptoms worse. Nutritional and lifestyle changes can also offer relief without causing you to rely so heavily on medications.

What to Expect

Studies have found that chiropractic management of fibromyalgia patients improves their cervical and lumbar ranges of motion. They also reported reduced pain levels. You may see an immediate improvement after your first adjustment since the properly aligned spine helps the central nervous system to function.

Patients find it easier to keep moving due to the improved range of motion and reduced pain, which, in turn, reduces the acceleration of symptoms and maintains overall health.
