Fibromyalgia 

 

Imagine having to live with fatigue and radiating, gnawing, shooting or burning muscle, tendon and joint pain all the time. Imagine your body full of ”tender points” on your neck , shoulders, chest, ribs cage, low back , thighs, knees, elbows and buttocks along with increased sensitivity to pain, heat, cold, touch and bright lights.

 

     As if the above weren’t bad enough, you may have sleeplessness, irritable bowl syndrome, headaches, irritable bladder, depression and/or anxiety.  Sounds terrible, doesn’t it? That’s what people who suffer from fibromyalgia must endure.  For some, this condition is annoying, but for others, the symptoms are all but disabling. More and more fibromyalgia sufferers are turning to the drug-free, natural chiropractic approach.  Why? Because chiropractic gets results. 

 

     The role of your doctor of chiropractic is to free you from a severe form of stress found in your spine: vertebral subluxations.  Subluxations are distortions of your spine and body structure that stress your brain, spinal cord, nerves, joints, ligaments, muscles, internal organs and other tissues.  Subluxations cause disturbed body function, loss of wholeness, lowered resistance to disease, lack of energy, loss of height and premature aging.  Surprisingly, a subluxation may be painless; you can have one for years and never know it while it damages your health. 

 

In conclusion: Your body’s natural healing ability has been documented to heal nearly any disease or condition.  When your body is free from subluxations, your self-healing ability is better able to deal with all your health problems, including fibromyalgia.

Abstract

Objective: To report on the improvement of fibromyalgia related symptoms in an adult female undergoing chiropractic care to correct vertebral subluxations.
 
Clinical Features: A thirty six year old female presented for chiropractic care due to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident three days prior. Objective indicators of vertebral subluxation were identified upon physical examination and radiographs.          
 
Interventions and Outcomes: The patient was seen over a 12 week period with varying frequency.  She responded well to care; therefore she was placed on a long term maintenance plan.  The care plan consisted of a combination of chiropractic adjustments (CMT) and physical therapy. 
 
Conclusion: The case of an adult female with fibromyalgia related symptoms is presented following a motor vehicle accident. Dramatic improvement in symptoms related to fibromyalgia is noted following the introduction of chiropractic care concomitant with a reduction in vertebral subluxation. More research on the benefits of chiropractic in those with fibromyalgia is warranted.
