If you are struggling with fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as ChiroWerx sees many people with this particular condition in our Charlotte, NC chiropractic clinic. As a matter of fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 2% of all adults in the United States have fibromyalgia problems. Thankfully, chiropractic treatment is one treatment option that can provide positive results.
In a medical study published in mid-2015, 215 people with fibromyalgia were evaluated based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression and anxiety they felt. Then they were divided into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment plan for three months and the second group receiving the same program plus chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck tissues) for the same length of time.
The subjects who received chiropractic care in addition to the multi-disciplinary treatment approach reported greater results in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at 12 weeks post-treatment when compared to the study participants who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic adjustments. Additionally, those positive outcomes were long-lasting as the people reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia pain can substantially reduce your quality of life, both psychologically and physically. If you're struggling with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
