Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments Shown to Be Effective for Fibromyalgia Diagnosis in Jacksonville
If you suffer with fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Chanatry Chiropractic sees many people with this particular condition in our Jacksonville chiropractic office. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 2% of all adults in the US have fibromyalgia pain. Luckily, chiropractic care is one treatment option that can provide positive results.
Research Shows Chiropractic Care Lessens Fibromyalgia Issues
In a paper published in mid-2015, 215 women and men with fibromyalgia were assessed based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression symptoms and anxiety they felt. Then they were split into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment program for three months and the second group receiving the same approach with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck tissues) for the same length of time.
The subjects who received chiropractic adjustments combined with the multi-modal treatment approach reported greater results in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at 12 weeks post-treatment when compared to the study participants who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic adjustments. Furthermore, those positive results were long-lasting as the subjects reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia problems can substantially decrease your quality of life, both psychologically and physically. If you're dealing with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
