Can Chiropractic Care Help Relieve Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
Many have suspected that spinal manipulation may alter the sensorimotor integration in the central nervous system and thus could treat central sensitisation syndrome
central sensitisation syndrome can cover many disorders like Fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic headache, temporomandibular disorder, and pelvic pain syndromes
- although the mechanism of cause is widely up for debate, central sensitisation is seen as an increase in the responsiveness of nociceptors in the central nervous system to normal stimuli, meaning what wouldn't hurt for others, would hurt for fibromyalgia patients
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing pain, stiffness, and tenderness in your muscles, tendons, and joints
Patients often experience restless sleep, tiredness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and disturbances in bowel movements
What differentiates fibromyalgia is that there is NO tissue inflammation, which is a key diagnostic factor
Results of the study that involved females between 18 and 55 that were already receiving pharmacological treatment
Patients received the chiropractic session twice a week for 3 weeks
After a 3 month check-up, the spinal adjustment group had a significantly lower pain score
The study concluded that patients with fibromyalgia could get effective treatment for pain, disease severity, and improvement in functionality
