Chiropractic Treatment for Fibromyalgia in Dallas

Many people with fibromyalgia will have tried multiple treatments without success before they consider chiropractic care. However, here in Dallas, more and more people are seeking chiropractic care for their condition when they learn how effective it can be. At Apex Wellness Center, we believe that chiropractic care can help you.

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a common disorder that causes musculoskeletal pain, usually paired with mood disorders, fatigue, sleep, and memory issues. More women than men are affected, and there is no cure. Additional symptoms that may go along with fibromyalgia include:

Headaches

TMJ (jaw) pain

Depression

Anxiety

Irritable bowel syndrome

It is believed that fibromyalgia is a nerve disorder in which the brain misinterprets pain signals. The cause may be trauma, either physical or mental, or illness. In many cases, though, the cause is unknown and symptoms come on gradually with no obvious trigger.

Chiropractic Care and Fibromyalgia

Sufferers of fibromyalgia have been using chiropractic care for a long time. As a condition with no cure and varyingly effective treatment options, patients have been drawn to the idea of using chiropractic aid for over 30 years. In 63-77 percent of the cases in one study, there was an improvement in the condition after chiropractic treatment.

The mechanisms of fibromyalgia are not well understood. Because of this, the whole-body wellness approach that chiropractic practitioners favor may be the most effective. One way that chiropractic treatment may help is by increasing range of motion and reducing pain that is associated with tight muscles or tissues. Pain may cause patients to tense up, which causes more pain, in a never-ending cycle. Chiropractic care helps break this cycle as well as improve overall health through interventions such as massage, lifestyle management, and spinal adjustments.
