If you are afflicted by fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Montero Chiropractic Clinic sees many patients with this particular syndrome in our Yuma chiropractic practice. Actually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly two percent of all adults in the USA have fibromyalgia discomfort. Luckily, chiropractic adjustments is one treatment option that can provide positive results.
In a medical study published in mid-2015, 215 adults with fibromyalgia were assessed based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression or anxiety they felt. Then they were split into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment plan for three months and the second group receiving the same approach plus chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.
The subjects who received chiropractic treatment in conjunction with the multi-modal treatment approach reported greater results in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at three months post-treatment when compared to the study people who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic care. Additionally, those positive results were lasting as the subjects reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia issues can substantially diminish your quality of life, both mentally and physically. If you're dealing with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
