Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. Its exact cause is unknown, but it's believed to involve abnormalities in pain processing within the central nervous system. Individuals with fibromyalgia may also experience other symptoms such as headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and sensitivity to touch, noise, or temperature.
The precise cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, but it's thought to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
Risk factors may include a family history of fibromyalgia, traumatic events or injuries, infections, and conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Additionally, disruptions in neurotransmitter levels, such as serotonin and dopamine, may contribute to the development of fibromyalgia symptoms.
Chiropractic care for fibromyalgia aims to alleviate pain and improve overall function by addressing musculoskeletal imbalances and nervous system dysfunction. This may involve gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue manipulation, and therapeutic exercises tailored to the individual's specific needs and pain tolerance.
Chiropractors may also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and nutritional strategies to help manage fibromyalgia symptoms and enhance overall well-being. It's important for individuals with fibromyalgia to work closely with a multidisciplinary healthcare team to explore comprehensive treatment approaches and achieve optimal symptom management.
