Chiropractic Helps Fibromyalgia Pain

Chiropractic Methods Shown as Effective for Fibromyalgia Diagnosis in Roselle

If you are struggling with fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Ahmed sees many patients with this particular issue in our Roselle chiropractic clinic. Actually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that roughly 2% of all adults in the USA have fibromyalgia pain. Thankfully, chiropractic adjustments is one treatment option that can provide positive results.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Reduces Fibromyalgia Pain

In a study published in mid-2015, 215 adults with fibromyalgia were evaluated based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression and anxiety they felt. Then they were split into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal therapy plan for three months and the second group receiving the same program with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.

The individuals who received chiropractic treatment in conjunction with the multi-modal therapy approach reported greater benefits in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at 12 weeks post-treatment when compared to the study people who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic therapy. In addition, those positive outcomes were long-lasting as the subjects reported continued improvement one full year later.

Fibromyalgia problems can greatly decrease your quality of life, both mentally and physically. If you're suffering from fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
