Chiropractic Treatment for Fibromyalgia

At Chiropractic of Bellevue, our chiropractor recommends chiropractic care as an alternative or complementary treatment for fibromyalgia. Not much is understood about fibromyalgia, however, it is known to be rheumatic. In other words, fibromyalgia directly affects the joints and soft tissues of the body, causing severe pain. Although the exact cause of fibromyalgia is not yet understood, chiropractic care has been shown to effectively treat or reduce the painful symptoms associated with rheumatic diseases such as fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia Treatment with a Chiropractic of Bellevue Chiropractor

Each patient and case of fibromyalgia is unique. For this reason, at Chiropractic of Bellevuer, our chiropractor tailors every treatment plan to address the patient's individual needs. Our chiropractor helps patients find relief from the painful symptoms of fibromyalgia by using a combination of natural treatments and therapies including spinal adjustments, massage therapy, hot and cold therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling.

Achieving a properly aligned spine and optimal function of the nervous system with spinal adjustments provides relief from fibromyalgia, which is thought to originate from a disorder of the nervous system. Regular spinal adjustments maintain the spine's proper alignment, ensuring the nervous system remains unblocked and able to function properly. In addition to spinal adjustments, our chiropractor might recommend massage therapy and/or hot and cold therapy in order to promote increased circulation throughout the body, which helps to eliminate painful inflammation in the joints and soft tissues, thereby relieving pain and accelerating healing. For some patients, acupuncture might also be an effective method of treatment. Acupuncture targets pressure points, releasing stress, tension, and endorphins.

While an individually prescribed wellness plan will help patients find relief from fibromyalgia pain, these treatments are the most effective for the healthiest patients. In addition to these treatment options, we offer nutritional counseling to assist patients in achieving the best possible health and treatment outcome.
