Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. While the exact cause is not fully understood, research suggests that fibromyalgia may be linked to abnormal pain processing in the nervous system, hormonal imbalances, and genetics. Patients often experience a combination of physical discomfort and emotional stress, which can significantly impact daily life.
Common symptoms of fibromyalgia include persistent muscle aches, joint stiffness, headaches, and fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest. Many individuals also report sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating (often called “fibro fog”), and heightened sensitivity to pain, light, or temperature changes. Because symptoms can vary widely, diagnosis often requires careful evaluation and exclusion of other conditions.
At Total Wellness Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to managing fibromyalgia. Our team focuses on non-invasive therapies designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support overall well-being. Treatments may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs.
In addition to pain management, we emphasize strategies to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and enhance energy levels. Nutritional guidance, posture correction, and ergonomic adjustments can also play a role in minimizing triggers and promoting long-term relief. Our goal is to empower patients to take control of their symptoms and maintain an active, fulfilling lifestyle.
Chiropractic care for fibromyalgia is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive plan that addresses both physical and emotional aspects of the condition. By combining targeted therapies with patient education, we help individuals reduce flare-ups, increase strength and flexibility, and improve overall quality of life.
