Fibromyalgia Relief in Frisco
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in the joints, muscles, and tendons. People with this condition may also have problems with memory, concentration, and sleep. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than men, and often begins at a relatively young age.
What Causes It & How Is It Managed?
The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it’s thought to be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain and changes in the way the nervous system processes pain messages.
While there’s no known cure for this condition, many people elect to use painkillers, antidepressants and relaxation techniques.
For those looking for an alternative to pain medication, chiropractic care may be helpful for people with fibromyalgia. Some studies have shown that chiropractic care can improve pain, fatigue, and function in people with this condition.
Our chiropractors use various techniques to help people with this condition, including manual manipulation of the spine, mobilization of the joints, and massage therapy.
