Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic Care

The effect of chiropractic care on fibromyalgia pain has been debated for many years, but that debate is among academics and insurance companies. Patients with fibromyalgia who have received spinal adjustments don't debate it. Many people diagnosed with fibromyalgia have experienced some level of relief when receiving regular spinal adjustments.


Spinal Universe has a very good article on how this condition paired with chiropractic care is treated by the insurance companies. Dr. Lowe writes,
I'd just completed a year-long study that suggests his objection [the independent medical examiner] is nonsense. In the study, I repeatedly adjusted a subject's C5-C6 cervical segments. This dramatically reduced the irritability of her infraspinatus trigger points.1 (The infraspinatus, of course, is innervated by C5-C6.)

The irritability of my subject's trigger points reduced gradually -- under the influence of a series of cervical adjustments. We found that the more frequent the adjustments, the more dramatic the relief from trigger point irritability. This study has an important implication: Repeatedly adjusting any fixated part of the spine may reduce the irritability of trigger points in muscles innervated by that part of the spine.
Have you experienced any relief from fibromyalgia pain through chiropractic care? If so, let us know about it by leaving a comment. I believe that personal testimony is one of the most powerful tools for spreading knowledge about how chiropractic care can help people.

    Fibromyalgia can be helped with the drink cal-mag. It works with the chiropractor to help with the pain associated with it. We used it at our drug rehab to help with detox.

    Chiropractic care sounds like a logical method to help ease the pain associated with Fibromyalgia.
    One must remember, Insurance Companies are always looking for a way to screw the insured ($$$) people, just to make up for all the free services and write-offs they end up giving to the irresponsible uninsured and, of course, it is all about the money.
    For example, at my place of work they offer medical insurance at a cheap price. Well, one lady that works there refused to pay the few dollars a month for health insurance. Anyway, a few months later she had to have thyroid surgery and run up a bill that was 40+ thousand dollars. After a few weeks, the hospitals wrote-off most of it, she didn't have to pay hardly crap, so I'm sure they really nailed the next person with insurance that came in there, just to make up for it. Unfortunately, that's how this stuff works most of the time. You try to be responsible and do the right thing, and you get bit in the ass!

    Nice blog, by the way. Mine are usually quite mundane, but ain't everything mundane that relates to the world and/or daily living? Cheers! ;)

    I love the truth that this short article appreciates which chiropractic treatment can be quite good for sufferers along with fibromyalgia. Nevertheless I actually do believe you will find 2 claims which have to be tackled. To begin with nowhere fast possess We study of the elevated possibility of center assault associated chiropractic treatment.
    The opportunity associated with heart stroke associated with chiropractic changes is actually extremely uncommon. The danger associated with heart stroke that's related to chiropractic specialists may be the dissection from the vertebral artery. The actual vertebral artery operates with the bone fragments of the neck of the guitar in to your mind. Often the actual showing sign associated with vertebral artery dissection is really a common sign of the head ache in the bottom from the neck of the guitar. This particular actually the uncommon situation that needs a costly as well as dangerous build up in order to eliminate and it is not really achievable to do upon everyone. It's thought which a number of instances associated with heart stroke, associated with chiropractic treatment, had been this is the currently dissecting artery showing towards the chiropractic specialist. Actually a current research demonstrated how the danger associated with heart stroke had been exactly the same should you visited your loved ones doctor or even the actual chiropractic specialist for the head ache.
