Firbromyalgia and Chiropractic Care

Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects thousands, and is typically associated with symptoms of chronic pain and fatigue. The condition is poorly understood, and treatment is limited.  Through public marketing media such as television and radio advertisement, a new drug called Lyrica has been promoted. Like all medications, it promises relief at the expense of a chemical onslaught to the body.  Often with medication, temporary relief is traded at the expense of additional conditions or diseases. If you or someone you know is taking Lyrica, please have them read this advisory notice for Lyrica from their own website.

The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public regarding the benefits of Chiropractic Care, touts the benefits of chiropractic in treating patients with fibromyalgia. In one of their publications, they quote the experience of Retired Brig. Gen. Becky Halstead, the first woman General in the U.S. Army to command in Iraq. She said that she suffered from fibromyalgia during her military service. "The adjustments and nutritional advice I received from my chiropractor helped in treating the fibromyalgia and made me feel better on a day-to-day basis," raves the West Point graduate.

According to the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, "while scientists continue to develop a better understanding of fibromyalgia, chiropractors aim to correct misalignments of the spine and pelvis through hands-on adjustments. As joint motion improves, fibromyalgia patients discover that the excruciating pain can be reduced or, in some cases, eliminated. Once this pain is under control, other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia - such as fatigue, sleep deprivation, and depression also diminish."
