FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS

Dr. Nathan Fisher accurately diagnoses clients with fibromyalgia, which is characterized by widespread pain throughout the body. If these symptoms continue for more than three months, you may have the illness. Typically, those with fibromyalgia experience significant pain in eleven or more different points on the body. These points may congregate around the neck, chest, elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips.

Others may also have one or more of the following symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Sleep disorders
• Cognitive or memory impairment
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Chronic headaches
• Menstrual cramping
• Jaw pain
• Muscle pain after exertion
• Numbness or tingling
• Morning stiffness
• Skin sensitivities
• Irritable bowels

NATURAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR FIBROMYALGIA

Are you looking for a natural treatment for fibromyalgia pain? The nervous system runs through your spinal column, carrying information from the brain to the rest of the body, and vice versa. So, it makes sense that a chiropractor specializing in the spine and back can also help with this condition.

Our chiropractor provides non-invasive care to help manage your fibromyalgia symptoms. Our chiropractic care is drug-free and can be used to improve your range of motion to help your body start to heal itself naturally.

Misaligned or restricted vertebrae press on the nerves and cause the multi-point pain associated with fibromyalgia. To relieve the pain, Dr. Fisher uses gentle pressure to adjust your spine. In some cases, low- or high-velocity thrusts and stretching can realign the vertebrae.
