Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic Care

Many years ago, women came to me with a newly diagnosed condition...fibromyalgia.  Not much was known about it and not many treatment options were available.  I have to admit that I wasn't able to help these women much because trigger point therapy, microelectric current and adjustments simply didn't offer any significant relief.

The good news is that we now have treatments available that offer great relief and allow the patient to manage their condition to the point of little or no pain.  I was listening to a medical doctor who was introduced as a, "fibromyalgia expert," talk about the medical options for therapy.  She mentioned counseling (for depression), dietary changes, medication and yoga.  Unfortunately, none of these address the reason why the body is experiencing different levels of pain and energy on a daily basis.

Since the cause of this condition is not simple and involves many different systems: musculoskeletal,neurological, physiological and mechanical, the treatment also involves many different approaches: cold laser, meridian therapy, harmonic resonance, nutrition, life-style changes and emotional support.  I can tell you that we have had great success with these therapies. 

I have posted information on our website which details the reason for chronic pain from any condition and the stages of treatment necessary to restore normal function.  <ahref=http://fixdhealthcare.com>
