HEALTHY LIVING RESULTS

If you are suffering with fibromyalgia, an Austin chiropractor will be able to help you. The symptoms of this nasty condition are extreme tenderness and stiffness of joints, tendons and muscles, plus excruciating pain. Other characteristics of fibromyalgia are anxiety, depression and insomnia.

No-one really knows what causes this condition. However, researches have observed that many patients have elevated levels of a nerve signal chemical called ’substance P’. It has also been noted that a lot of sufferers have depleted levels of serotonin, a brain chemical.

Fibromyalgia most commonly affects women in the 35 to 55 age-group. For some reason, they are more prone to it than men, children or the elderly. More than eighty percent of patients fall into the abovementioned age-group. The condition can also be related to diseases like systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. But it can, however, manifest itself independently.

The pain can be exacerbated by mental stress, a change in weather, and noise. In most cases, the pain is widespread and both sides of the body are affected. Commonly affected areas are the upper back, the chest, shoulders, arms, neck and the buttocks. Just a light touch on these sensitive areas can bring on a muscle spasm and agonizing pain.

In recent years, many fibromyalgia sufferers have been getting effective relief from chiropractic care. Because there are so many sensitive areas on the body, sufferers also have relentless neck and back pain, and leg cramps. Chiropractics can often be the solution.

A chiropractor is qualified to make some adjustments to the neck and spine which can correct the body’s posture. After such an adjustment, the pain and associated symptoms will reduce significantly. Other therapies can also be used.

Often, fibromyalgia is associated with spinal stenosis. This occurs when the meninges (coverings on the spine) are compressed. A chiropractor can decompress the spine by adjusting the neck and head. In severe cases of fibromyalgia, a patient will probably need more than one session with an Austin chiropractor.
