Fibromyalgia Relief with Chiropractic

If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Jefferson Spine & Injury Center sees many people with this particular problem in our Arlington chiropractic clinic. As a matter of fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly two percent of all adults in the US have fibromyalgia discomfort. Luckily, chiropractic therapy is one treatment option that can provide positive results.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Lessens Fibromyalgia Issues

In a paper published in mid-2015, 215 adults with fibromyalgia were evaluated based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression symptoms or anxiety they felt. Then they were split 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 area) for the same length of time.

The individuals who received chiropractic therapy combined with the multi-modal treatment program reported greater benefits 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 care. Furthermore, those positive results were long-lasting as the individuals reported continued improvement one full year later.

Fibromyalgia pain can significantly reduce your quality of life, both psychologically and physically. If you're dealing with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
