Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder marked by widespread pain and fatigue, often stemming from nervous system dysfunction. It’s one of the most prevalent pain-related conditions, often managed by symptom relief through medication. However, effective alternatives like low-impact exercises, acupuncture, massage, yoga, and cognitive behavioral therapy provide relief without medication side effects.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Fibromyalgia Relief
Chiropractic care is highly effective for fibromyalgia, especially for those suffering from nerve compression. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and reducing pain. Additionally, yoga and meditation can enhance immune function and regulate sleep cycles by promoting melatonin production.
