What is fibromyalgia? Can chiropractic help?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by muscle pain and joint stiffness, particularly in the neck, shoulders, hips, and spine. Fibromyalgia affects 6 million Americans and is difficult to diagnose, because many of the symptoms mimic other conditions. Recent studies show that chiropractic treatment, nutrition, and exercise resulted in less pain and overall improvement with other symptoms associated with this condition, such as sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, and anxiety.
