Fibromyalgia

The symptoms commonly associated with Fibromyalgia include:

1. Muscle spasms
2. Sensitivity to light, pain, heat & cold
3. Bowel and bladder problems
4. Headaches
5. Sleepiness
6. Anxiety
7. Burning pain
8. Exhaustion
9. Tender trigger points

Unfortunately most people are given a combination of anti inflammatory drugs, painkillers and anti depressants and told to try physical therapy, counseling, and support groups to deal with their pain.

Chiropractic, relaxation techniques, and nutritional therapy have had much more encouraging results. Fibromyalgia has long been associated with trauma. In fact, a neck injury can increase the chance for fibromyalgia by 10 times-- which is another reason why chiropractic can make such a difference to someone with this condition.
