What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a complicated syndrome that causes diffuse pain throughout the body and persistent fatigue. It's been estimated that at least 5 million people in the United States have this condition, most of the women. 

What are Fibromyalgia Causes & Symptoms?

If you frequently experience any of the following signs or symptoms, you may have fibromyalgia:

  • Widespread pain, including headaches, joint pain, back pain, muscle aches and spasms, and TMJ pain
  • Joint stiffness, especially in the morning 
  • A persistent sense of fatigue
  • The feeling of "heaviness" in the legs or arms
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
  • Poor sleep 
  • Severely painful menstrual cramps
  • Mood disorders, such as depression or anxiety
  • Memory disturbances (aka "fibro fog")

These symptoms can worsen if a person experiences an acute episode of stress, illness, hormonal changes, extreme physical exertion, or sudden changes in the weather.

In many cases, fibromyalgia presents with other chronic health conditions including inflammatory bowel disease and endometriosis. This suggests that many of these chronic diseases could be related, but more research is necessary to determine this. 

Fibromyalgia causes are mostly unknown. The main theory is that in a person with fibromyalgia, the way their brain processes and experiences pain is amplified, like turning the volume up on the pain receptors in your nervous system. 

It's possible that this condition is triggered or brought on by traumatic events, repetitive injuries, other illnesses, or genetic inheritance. 

How Can a Chiropractor Help Manage My Fibromyalgia Pain?

Chiropractic care is more than just a natural approach to healing. It's also a powerful tool that can help your own body heal and restore itself. Dr. Tartack utilizes the most advanced and innovative chiropractic techniques available to help people find relief from their fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms, including: 

  • Chiropractic adjustments - this acts as a "reset" to the nervous system and may help modulate the pain pathways, ultimately reducing pain. Adjustments also help realign spinal bones which may become moved out of place due to stress, injury or poor posture, which can put even more pressure on an already strained nervous system.
  • Soft tissue massage and mobilization - this treatment can relax and soothe sore muscles, promote increased circulation and blood flow, increase the range of motion, and promote an overall sense of well-being and relaxation.
  • Cold laser therapy - studies have shown that when low light is directed at certain tissues in the body, cellular repair and re-growth is stimulated, inflammation and swelling are decreased, and a natural analgesic effect is induced.
