Denver Fibromyalgia Health Center

Problems with the jaw are common in people with fibromyalgia.  Clenching the jaw during disrupted sleep or even during the day can contribute to a painful condition called temporomandibular joint syndrome, (TMJ).

The jaw joint even if it’s slightly out of alignment, can cause headaches, ringing in the ears, facial pain, and even lead to pain in the upper shoulder area.  People with this condition often experience clicking or popping of the jaw joint.

The jaw of course moves by rocking on a joint just ahead of the ear.  Even a slight misalignment of this joint can cause terrific pain due to the sensitivity of this important structure.

At our center we use a hand held instrument to gently realign the jaw joint.  Our patients are frequently amazed how much relief they can have with just a gentle “click” of the instrument.

If you have facial pain associated with fibromyalgia, call our center now, (303) 394-CARE (2273).  We will examine your jaw, it’s alignment and the muscles that surround and move the jaw at no charge, when you mention this article.

If you have fibromyalgia, there is an increased likelihood your child may suffer from the same condition.  Here is what to look for:

-     Widespread pain,

-     Headaches,

-     Urinary and bowel problems,

-     Sleep disturbance,

-     Squirming or fidgeting,

-     Terrible hand writing,

-     Memory and learning problems,

-     Abdominal pain and

-     Twitches during sleep.

Without proper care, children with fibromyalgia will suffer pain that is very real and may even assume it’s their fault.  It’s imperative they visit a qualified doctor to get care for this problem.

 At our center we recognize this legitimate condition and offer children and adults great relief.  While other methods have failed, our approach is gentle enough to be safe for children of all ages.  If your child has any of the above symptoms, call (303) 394-CARE (2273) now.

Scientists and doctors are still uncertain what causes fibromyalgia.  Many believe it is caused by something called “subluxation”.   Subluxation means bones out of place interfering with the nervous system.  This can lead to many different “dis-eases”, fibromyalgia being just one of them

Fortunately there is a way to address the cause of this condition.  The following research based evidence supports the conservative measures we implement at our center.

Research Shows

In a study published in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that 45.9% of people who had fibromyalgia and went to a chiropractor experienced moderate to great improvement.  In the same study, anti-depressant medication benefited only 36.3% of those studied and exercise was limited to a 31.8% rate of improvement.

Can we help you?  You’ll never know, unless you call.  Without care your problems may get worse.  With proper care, you could feel great!  Call now (303) 394-2273 mention this article and receive a FREE exam.

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.
