Fibromyalgia can be debilitating; it targets muscles and soft tissue in your body. You’ll feel numbness, tingling in our extremities, fatigue, chronic muscle pain, tender joints, and sleep problems if you have fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, this disorder can be very persistent. However, you can find some relief at the hands of a skilled chiropractor.

A chiropractor is a licensed medical practitioner who believes that your body has the ability to heal itself. You just need to have a properly aligned body. Here are some ways a chiropractor can help you find relief from fibromyalgia

#1 – Pain Relief

Most fibromyalgia patients feel pain or stiffness in their back, their neck, and their legs. While medications can offer some comfort, they don’t really give you much relief. In Columbus, people suffering from fibromyalgia always seek out chiropractors for better treatment. Using several chiropractic adjustments in your neck and spine, they can provide you effective pain relief.

Many people seek them out because their treatments can be more effective than massages or medicines. In a way, they ease the strain on the body caused by fibromyalgia and stress.

#2 – Treating Upper Cervical Spinal Stenosis

There are several problems that a fibromyalgia patient has to suffer. However, upper cervical spinal stenosis is one of the more painful and irritating symptoms of the disorder. This happens when the meninges (the coverings in the upper section of your spine), start to become compressed. This problem can cause intense, debilitating pain throughout your body.

Chiropractors can adjust the alignment of your neck and spine, releasing the compression and easing the pain. Using their adjustments, they can ease the spinal cord and bring it to its natural state of alignment.

#3 – Manipulations for Joints

As all chiropractors in Indiana know, the alignment of the neck and spine can cause problems. To adjust it, they use a technique called manipulation. This involves a quick and short thrust to a vertebra in your spinal cord. A chiropractor might achieve this by twisting, turning, or applying pressure.

When a chiropractor performs this manipulation, there might be a sharp popping or cracking sound that can be alarming to new patients. However, that’s just a release of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the joints, which is very healthy.

Through chiropractic care, your blood circulation will increase, your joints will become more flexible and you will get relief from pain.
