Fibromyalgia is a health disorder characterized by severe musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, fatigue, memory lapses, etc. The condition upsets how the brain processes pain cues, which results in abnormally intense pain sensations. Fibromyalgia symptoms are typically triggered after experiencing an injury, psychological stress, surgery, or trauma. If not treated, the condition can significantly disrupt a person’s life. Our chiropractor at Buchanan Health Center provides long-term relief to individuals with fibromyalgia and chronic pain in The Villages and Leesburg areas.

Common Fibromyalgia Symptoms

While researchers are yet to find the exact cause of fibromyalgia, it’s believed that this condition develops from environmental and genetic factors. Common symptoms include:

• Relentless dull pain that lasts for up to three months
• Constant fatigue
• Cognitive Problems such as short attention spans/ lack of focus
• Migraines/headaches
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Temporomandibular joint disorders
• Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome

Fibromyalgia Diagnosis and Treatment

Our facility employs various holistic treatment techniques to address fibromyalgia pain. Our chiropractor starts by going through your medical history, followed by a thorough examination of the affected area. The doctor may order additional tests depending on the severity of the condition. Chiropractic care aims to ease pain and tension on the joints, muscles, ligaments, and spine, which in turn promotes better circulation and overall well-being. The chiropractic care treatment plan may include one or several of the below therapeutic techniques:

• Adjustments – aim at healing and restoring the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to optimal functioning.
• Physical Therapy – fibromyalgia causes intense muscle and joint pain in patients, thus limiting the range of motion. Physical therapy includes physical exercises and stretching and focuses on relieving chronic pain from specific areas in the body.
• Recommend Lifestyle/Nutritional Adjustment – you’ll need to make specific lifestyle and nutritional adjustments to aid your recovery process. Adjustments may be occupational or recreational. Proper nutrition will also help ease fibromyalgia symptoms and allow you to live a happier life.
