If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Holland sees many patients with this particular syndrome in our North County St. Louis, MO chiropractic clinic. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 2% of all adults in the United States have fibromyalgia pain. Thankfully, chiropractic care is one treatment option that can provide positive results.
In a medical study released in mid-2015, 215 people with fibromyalgia were evaluated 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 program for three months and the second group receiving the same program plus chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.
The individuals who received chiropractic therapy combined with the multi-modal therapy program reported greater benefits in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at three months post-treatment when compared to the study participants who received multi-modal treatment without chiropractic treatment. In addition, those positive results were long-lasting as the people reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia discomfort can substantially decrease your quality of life, both mentally and physically. If you're suffering from fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
