The specific cause of Fibromyalgia is classified as “idiopathic” which means we don’t know the cause, but we do know that the nervous system plays a direct role in sensing and transmitting pain signals, which lies at the heart of this diagnosis. Therefore, we can deduce the best way to address this condition would be to address the nervous system.

When the nervous system is irritated, as in the case of Fibromyalgia, communication between the pain receptors in the body and the brain can become distorted, either amplifying pain or even sending pain signals without reason. We use specific and objective assessments before and after each adjustment to measure the body’s reaction to the care, and as the care progresses we are able to see the positive effects made directly to the nervous system. As the nervous system becomes less irritated and begins to return to its natural structure, the body is able to adapt to the stress placed upon it and it is able to heal properly. Through objective and specific upper cervical chiropractic adjustments our patients begin to have a restored level of health, and with that, a restored life.

Symptoms typically begin after a physical trauma, infection, surgery, or a significant psychological stress; in other words, when the body has more stress placed on it than it can adapt to, fibromyalgia can occur.

Here at The Specific Chiropractic Centers we have seen success with many patients who have Fibromyalgia, reducing or eliminating pain entirely. We use specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic care to help the entire body fully heal and allow our patients to overcome this diagnosis.
