Proof That Fibromyalgia Can Be Reversed

An interesting case was presented in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractor Research. It was about a 45-year-old female who had fibromyalgia. She complained of migraine headaches, pain throughout her back, neck pain, sciatica, depression, duodenal ulcer, numbness in her fingers, and right knee pain. 

Her history revealed that when she was 15 years old, she had a traumatic head injury from diving into a shallow pool. Over the next 25 years, she was in a total of 10 car accidents. Her doctor diagnosed her with fibromyalgia. She endured another injury five years later, falling down a flight of stairs. This increased her pain.
​
She found temporary relief over a 12-year period by seeing general chiropractors. However, she was still in pain and suffering from depression. She was prescribed Flexeril, Soma, and Vicodin. It was impossible for her to climb stairs, walk more than 20 feet, or swim. She ended up using a wheelchair to help her complete her daily tasks and conserve energy.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Fibromyalgia

We differ from general chiropractors in that we focus our attention on the upper two bones of the vertebrae. A person with head or neck trauma may likely have a misalignment here. This causes the central nervous system to malfunction and changes the way the body works.

The above-mentioned patient sought out the care of an upper cervical chiropractor. Here are her results:

• Her first re-evaluation revealed that her left leg sciatica and fibromyalgia had completely resolved. She was able to perform daily functions and sleep comfortably. She felt relaxed and had more energy. She no longer took any prescription drugs.
• Her headaches and constant back pain were resolved by her second evaluation.
• At her fifth evaluation, six months later, her knee pain had gone away. She reported no longer needing to use a wheelchair. She was able to do house and yard work, and she could swim, stand for long periods of time, and walk distances without the aid of medication.​

This shows how helpful seeking the care of an upper cervical chiropractor can be. Why not call us for an evaluation today? ​
