If you are afflicted by fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees many people with this particular problem in our Harrisburg chiropractic practice. Actually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly two percent of all adults in the United States have fibromyalgia pain. Luckily, chiropractic therapy is one treatment option that can provide positive results.
In a paper published in mid-2015, 215 adults with fibromyalgia were assessed based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression or anxiety they felt. Then they were divided into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal therapy plan for three months and the second group receiving the same approach with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.
The individuals who received chiropractic treatment combined with the multi-disciplinary treatment program reported greater benefits in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at 12 weeks post-treatment when compared to the study patients who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic adjustments. Furthermore, those positive results were lasting as the subjects reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia issues can substantially reduce your quality of life, both psychologically and physically. If you're struggling with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
