Chiropractic & Fibromyalgia
Last updated on September 28, 2023
Fibromyalgia is a very common musculoskeletal disorder in the world, one that is quite often misdiagnosed. It is categorised as having chronic widespread pain all over the body which includes muscle and joint pain and areas that become hyper sensitive and very tender to touch.

Can Chiropractic Help You With Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is linked to a very heightened sympathetic nervous system.
Regular Chiropractic care is a great way to reduce stress on your nervous system and help reduce the pain and swelling caused by fibromyalgia.Â
Â
As chiropractors our role is to adjust your nervous system via your spine through specific and effective chiropractic adjustments.Â
By doing this regularly this restores proper alignment and movement in the spinal joints which helps increase joint mobility, enhances the speed of healing, improves recovery time, and helps your body manage the effects of fibromyalgia.Â
