What is Fibromyalgia Pain? 

Fibromyalgia is a disease of many symptoms. If you or someone you love has just received a diagnosis or has been dealing with the pain for a while, you may be wondering just what the symptoms are and how you can treat them.

Our San Antonio Chiropractor Explains Fibromyalgia Pain

Fibromyalgia causes a wide array of symptoms, including pain that spreads throughout the body, emanating from muscles and bones. The pain can range from feelings of tenderness to total debilitation. Accompanying symptoms include mood swings, fatigue, memory loss and trouble sleeping. Our chiropractor, Dr. Donald Phillips, can help you assess which symptoms you are manifesting and the best course of treatment for them. Fibromyalgia pain doesn’t have to take over your life forever, especially not with the help of a trained chiropractor by your side.

Fibromyalgia Treatment Options: Spinal Decompression, Cold Laser Therapy and Nutrition Counseling

There are many options for treatment fibromyalgia symptoms. Basic nutrition counseling can help a lot, since our diets weigh heavily into how we feel. If you’re wondering about your nutrition, get a professional opinion.

Other treatments that can help include spinal decompression and cold laser therapy. Spinal decompression involves gently traction of the body to relieve pressure on the disks between vertebrae and stretch out the spine, while cold laser therapy employs specific energy wavelengths to soothe tissue. Both can help enormously when it comes to alleviating the pain and discomfort that comes with a fibromyalgia diagnosis, and setting up regular appointments can help even more.
