Denver Fibromyalgia Health Center

Why are so many fibromyalgia sufferers seeking our care?  Don’t chiropractors help with spinal problems?

There is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows that the relationship between the spine and nervous system determines how susceptible we are to fibromyalgia. The article below is still another example of why our care can be critical for fibromyalgia in particular.

The clinical syndrome of fibrositis.  Wolfe F, American Journal of Medicine 1986 vol. 81 (suppl 3A) Sept 29, 1986;7-14

Researchers found that 45.9% of people who had fibromyalgia and went to a chiropractor experienced moderate to great improvement.  In the same study, antidepressant medication benefited only 36.3% of those studied and exercise was limited to a 31.8% rate of improvement.

If you hurt all over, feel exhausted all the time, have muscle tenderness and want relief, call (303) 394-CARE (2273).  Let’s talk.  You may have fibromyalgia, and I can help.

One of the most important things you can do to help yourself with fibromyalgia is to eat right and avoid sugary foods at all costs. These foods get your blood sugar concentration up for awhile and then send it plunging down leaving you feeling tired and miserable in the end. Avoid any foods with high sugar content, like; corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, maltose, cornstarch, sweet wines, pasta, white rice, dried fruit, molasses, honey, and maple syrup. All these foods will spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling tired.

You could eat a small portion of meat, have some nuts, and eat raw fruit and vegetables instead.

If you’re struggling and need help, call (303)394-CARE(2273) for a free dietary analysis of what you’ve been eating.
