Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic Care

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that causes widespread nerve pain. There are many different treatment options for people who suffer from fibromyalgia, and it can be frustrating to try a laundry list of treatments before landing on the one that works for your body. At Circle Chiropractic Center, P.C., in Fairfax, our chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Frey, is here to work with you and find an effective way to treat your fibromyalgia pain.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Researchers still aren't sure exactly what causes fibromyalgia. It's accepted in the medical community that fibromyalgia is caused by overactive nerves. These nerves create pain in the bones, muscles, joints, and soft tissues of the body. Many people who have fibromyalgia also experience sleep difficulties and trouble concentrating, also known as "fibro fog". There is no one test to find out if someone has fibromyalgia. Your medical professional will work with you to decide if your symptoms are likely a result of fibromyalgia.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

Misalignment of the spine can cause stress throughout the body and can contribute to the exacerbation of fibromyalgia symptoms. When you come in for your first appointment with our chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Frey, you'll discuss your symptoms. Together with Dr. Christopher Frey, you'll develop a treatment plan to relieve your fibromyalgia symptoms. Many people find that spinal adjustment is an effective treatment for helping their body find relief. Lifestyle changes, including nutrition changes and stress management, can also be helpful in relieving pain caused by fibromyalgia.
