Dr. McQuaite, your Doylestown Chiropractor offers a breakthrough treatment for fibromyalgia. If you live in Doylestown, Warrington, Chalfont or Jamison are suffering from Doylestown fibromyalgia, you don’t need anyone to tell you the stressful symptoms of the condition. The painful symptoms can cover a large area, taking place above and below the waist, and involve both sides of the body. The deep aching that accompanies the condition often radiates, shoots, stings, and even gnaws at your body. 

As if the acute pain and suffering from fibromyalgia weren’t enough, a disproportionate ninety percent of fibromyalgia sufferers also have developed chronic fatigue syndrome, and you might be one of them. It is this “double whammy” that can leave you not only suffering from pain and fatigue, but also malaise, headaches, numbness and pins and needles, dizziness, sleep disturbance, swollen feeling in tissues, stiffness, sensitivity to noise and stress, and cognitive impairment.  

If you are suffering from one or both, of these two devastating conditions, you may find it difficult to engage in even the simplest activities in life, and you may even be experiencing depression and feeling defeated. Fortunately, your Doylestown chiropractor can assist you. Chiropractic techniques have been found to be highly effective in reversing trauma-induced injuries by decreasing inflammation to the nerves in the spinal cord that can trigger pain, neuromuscular dysfunction, and fatigue.

You may be curious, at this point, about what “trauma-induced injuries” have to do with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. You may find the answer surprising. While the specific cause of these problems is unknown, recent research has identified traumatic neck injuries, like whiplash and concussion, for example, as risk factors for the onset of both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. And, here’s the thing: although the pain and fatigue caused by spinal injuries can begin immediately, frequently it can take months or even years to develop. These types of injuries may no be remembered by the time fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms arise.  

When it comes treating problems related to the muscular-skeletal system, your Doylestown chiropractor is an expert. Chiropractic care has been shown to be highly beneficial in reversing trauma-induced spinal injury.  Numerous studies have been conducted analyzing the benefits of chiropractic care in fibromyalgia patients. A 1985 study asked 81 fibromyalgia patients to indicate drug or alternative treatments that best relieved their pain. Doylestown chiropractic care treatment scored surprisingly high in this study. Another study examined the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms. After just 15 treatments, fibromyalgia patients suffered from less pain and fatigue, and actually enjoyed better sleep quality.  A recent study from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics showed that 60% of all participants (with Fibromyalgia) who underwent thirty Chiropractic treatments showed significant reductions in pain intensity and improvement in their overall fatigue and quality of sleep.
