Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia is a common condition that causes a great deal of suffering. The pain tends to spread throughout the musculoskeletal system, impacting a person’s daily life. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this condition, but chiropractic care at Dunwoody Chiropractic Center can help minimize the impact.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

The most common symptoms associated with fibromyalgia are pain and tenderness in the muscles and joints. Sometimes the pain comes and goes and sometimes it is constant. It can vary from a dull throb to a sharp pain. It typically makes sufferers more sensitive to pain than someone who doesn’t have the condition. Other common symptoms include:

• Sleep problems – These problems also vary between sufferers. Some have trouble falling asleep. Others wake up throughout the night. In any of these cases, it tends to lead to chronic fatigue.
• Stiffness – Many people wake up feeling stiff and have to spend several minutes stretching to get moving.
• Headaches – Since those with fibromyalgia experience so much pain, it is not unusual for them to have pain and tension in the head, neck, and back.
• Digestive issues – Fibromyalgia sufferers often have stomach conditions that include everything from typical stomach pain to IBS, acid reflux, and GERD.
• Numbness, tingling, and swelling – Sufferers also tend to experience strange sensations in the extremities, such as burning, tingling, and numbness. They might also notice swelling in various areas. For some, it is constant, while others experience it intermittently.
