Gresham Chiropractor Educates Public About Fibromyalgia

By Guy Lobdell


A Gresham chiropractor explains what fibromyalgia is. He also identifies the symptoms. If an individual has a significant number of the symptoms associated with the disorder, it may indicate that it is present.

Fatigue from early morning to night, muscle spasms and chronic pain may be added to diarrhea and constipation, which occur in a cycle. Numbness in the face, hands and feet, and a feeling that the extremities are swollen when there is no visible sign of swelling are other indications.

There was a time in the not-too-recent past that fibromyalgia was not recognized as a disorder. It is still somewhat difficult to understand. Symptoms may flare up and then disappear for a time. They can intensify for a variety of reasons including hormonal fluctuations associated with menstruation and menopause.

The emotions can have a strong effect on muscular pain and fatigue. Depression can be attributed to the pain that is experienced. Nutrition may play a role. Mild exercise is often recommended by the chiropractor. It is not beneficial to remain inactive. Yoga aids in relaxation.

Chiropractic care is credited with improvement in people with the disorder. One feature of the condition is an increase in nervous system responses. The gentle adjustments to the spine and pelvis can facilitate improved joint motion in the entire body.

If your skeletal structure is misaligned, the functioning of your entire body may be affected. Gentle adjustments can ease the misaligned bones back into the correct position. Combined with stretches, this may restore normal function and reduce the chronic pain associated with this debilitating disorder.

Your Gresham chiropractor can determine whether you have upper cervical spinal stenosis, a condition in which the meninges, which cover the upper spine, are compressed. It results in pain throughout the body. Adjustments can ease this compression in the head and neck area and that will serve to relieve the pain this symptom of fibromyalgia causes.
