Chiropractic Care Helps Combat Fibromyalgia

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease of the central nervous system causing debilitating pain that spreads throughout every part of the body. If you suffer from Fibromyalgia, you may experience symptoms such as headaches, painful menstrual cramps, restless leg syndrome, cognitive and memory problems, and trouble sleeping. The most common visible symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia include chronic body pain and psychological problems. Fibromyalgia causes the central nervous system to be overly sensitive to the impulses of pain that are received from numerous sensory organs located in the body. Because this is a disease of the central nervous system, other problems such as tingling and numbness are extremely common. Symptoms usually begin to show in early adult years and lasts, usually, for the rest of life. Fibromyalgia causes the muscles to become very tight, causing them to lose movement and creating chronic pain in the muscles.
