Understanding Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a complex condition with symptoms that vary widely among individuals. Common symptoms include:

  • Widespread Pain: Persistent pain that affects multiple areas of the body.
  • Fatigue: Constant tiredness that doesn't improve with rest.
  • Cognitive Issues: Problems with concentration and memory, often referred to as "fibro fog."
  • Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to unrefreshing sleep.

The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. It is often triggered by physical trauma, surgery, infection, or significant psychological stress.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on manual adjustments to the spine. For individuals with fibromyalgia, chiropractic care can offer several benefits:

  1. Pain Relief
    Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate the widespread pain associated with fibromyalgia. By realigning the spine and improving nervous system function, chiropractic care can reduce the sensitivity to pain signals, providing much-needed relief.
  1. Improved Mobility
    Many fibromyalgia patients experience stiffness and limited range of motion. Chiropractic care can enhance joint mobility and flexibility, making it easier to perform daily activities without discomfort.
  1. Reduced Muscle Tension
    Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve muscle tension and spasms, which are common in fibromyalgia. By addressing misalignments in the spine, chiropractors can reduce the stress on muscles and promote relaxation.
  1. Enhanced Sleep Quality
    Better alignment and reduced pain can lead to improved sleep quality. Chiropractic care can help address the underlying issues that disrupt sleep, allowing individuals to achieve more restful and restorative sleep.
  1. Holistic Approach
    Chiropractors take a holistic approach to health, often incorporating lifestyle advice, nutritional counseling, and stress management techniques into their treatment plans. This comprehensive approach can help manage the multifaceted symptoms of fibromyalgia.

What to Expect During Chiropractic Treatment

When seeking chiropractic care for fibromyalgia, it's important to choose a chiropractor experienced in treating this condition. During the initial visit, the chiropractor will conduct a thorough examination, which may include:

  • Medical History Review: Discussing your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments.
  • Physical Examination: Assessing your posture, range of motion, and areas of pain.
  • Diagnostic Tests: In some cases, additional tests such as X-rays or MRI scans may be needed to evaluate the spine's condition.

Based on the findings, the chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include:

  • Spinal Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to realign the spine and improve nervous system function.
  • Massage Therapy: Techniques to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation.
  • Exercise Recommendations: Specific exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and overall function.
  • Lifestyle Advice: Guidance on diet, sleep, and stress management to support overall health.

I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine.
I started my care with Peak back in mid February. I had never heard of a cervical chiropractor, until my daughter convinced me to try it. I had been dealing with shoulder/neck pain periodically, off and on, never quite getting rid of it. My last experience with a chiropractor left me injured and not feeling very confident about ever using chiropractic care again. Upon beginning my care with Peak, I began to see that this was different then anything i had ever heard of before. I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine. I began my adjustments, and was informed I would go through a detox with my body. Some weeks I was feeling great, and some weeks i definitely was feeling more pain. After about four weeks of regular adjustments, I probably had my worst week of pain! The following week was my best week, in fact, I didn’t even need to be adjusted. I am excited to continue my care with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara! As time moves forward, I am seeing more and more improvement. My body is beginning to recover on its own when i have been through excess stress or exertion. Before, my body was “stuck” in pain, and now it’s beginning to bounce back on its own. Dr John and Dr Kyara are both very kind, compassionate professionals. If you are on the fence about jumping in to cervical chiropractic care, take the plunge! The only thing you have to lose is your pain and discomfort!

Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!

I’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!
