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.

The most important thing you can do at home for fibromyalgia is to exercise. It may seem like the last thing you want to do. You may hurt all the time. You may feel completely exhausted, but mild exercise will actually help your condition. Even if you don’t feel like it, exercise anyway. You will get the energy back. Once you start, you will feel better. Go for a walk, ride a bike, or swim. It will actually energize your system in the long run. Even though you may feel tired or unable to sleep, exercise helps fibromyalgia.

If you’ve been blowing off exercise, or wonder exactly how to get started, call my center now, (303) 394-CARE
