Seattle Chiropractor: Breakthrough Treatment is Now Available for Fibromyalgia
August 21st, 2009 | by admin |Your Seattle Chiropractor knows that you don’t need anyone to tell you about the difficult symptoms of fibromyalgia if you suffer from the pain created by it. The painful symptoms can be extensive, occurring above and below the waist, and involve both sides of the body. The deep aching that accompanies the condition often travels, shoots, stings, and even gnaws at your body.
As if the acute pain and suffering from fibromyalgia weren’t enough, a surprising ninety percent of fibromyalgia sufferers also experience chronic fatigue syndrome, and you might be one of them. It is this “double whammy” that can result in your not only suffering from pain and fatigue, but also anxiety, headaches, numbness and pins and needles, dizziness, sleep disturbance, swollen feeling in tissues, stiffness, sensitivity to noise and stress, and cognitive impairment.
If you are suffering from one, or both, of these two debilitating conditions, you may find it difficult to participate in even the simplest activities in life, and you may even be feeling depressed and defeated. Fortunately, your chiropractor can help you. Chiropractic techniques have been found to be highly beneficial in reversing trauma-induced injuries by reducing inflammation to the nerves in the brain stem and spinal cord that can bring about pain, neuromuscular dysfunction, and fatigue.

And, here’s the thing: even though the pain and fatigue generated by spinal injuries can begin immediately, in many cases it can take quite a long time, perhaps months or years to develop. By the time fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms become apparent, these injuries may not be remembered.
