Fibromyalgia Relief in Frisco

woman on couch with back pain Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, tenderness in the muscles, joints, and tendons, and persistent fatigue. Many patients also experience difficulty with memory and concentration, often called “fibro fog,” as well as sleep disturbances. This condition affects more women than men and usually begins in early adulthood, impacting daily life, work, and overall well-being.

Frisco chiropractor Dr. Mark Taylor provides compassionate, gentle care designed to relieve symptoms, restore mobility, and improve quality of life for those living with fibromyalgia.

The Science Behind Fibromyalgia

The exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, but research suggests it may involve abnormal levels of neurotransmitters that regulate pain, heightened sensitivity of the central nervous system to pain signals, and stress and lifestyle factors that may worsen symptoms.

Common symptoms include widespread pain and stiffness, fatigue and sleep disturbances, difficulty with focus and memory, and increased sensitivity to touch, temperature, or noise.

Conventional treatment often relies on pain medications, antidepressants, or nerve medications, and relaxation and stress management techniques. However, many patients seek drug-free alternatives that address the underlying nervous system dysfunction. This is where chiropractic care can play a vital role.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Our approach to care focuses on restoring nervous system balance, improving joint mobility, and reducing muscular tension. Dr. Taylor uses gentle, targeted techniques to relieve discomfort and improve function, including manual spinal adjustments to realign vertebrae and reduce stress on the nervous system, joint mobilization to restore range of motion and ease stiffness, and massage therapy and soft tissue work to relieve muscular tension and improve circulation.

Fibromyalgia can make daily life exhausting. Our approach combines gentle chiropractic care with lifestyle strategies to reduce pain, improve function, and help patients reclaim their energy.Dr. Mark Taylor

By addressing nervous system stress and improving musculoskeletal function, patients often notice better mobility, reduced pain, and improved energy levels, especially when chiropractic care is paired with exercise, sleep optimization, and stress management.

Treatment Approach and What to Expect

Every care plan at Taylor Family Chiropractic is customized based on symptom severity, medical history, and lifestyle.
