The Ineffectiveness of General Chiropractic in the Fight Against Fibromyalgia

Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Upper Cervical, Always TiredAn End to Your Fibromyalgia

The Journal of the upper cervical chiropractic research reported a case study by Dr. Nimira Alibhoy. A 45-year-old woman who suffered from two head traumas and 10 car accident sought out the care of an upper cervical chiropractor. After suffering from fibromyalgia for 11 years when she began her care her symptoms included:

  • Migraine headaches
  • Chronic neck pain
  • Upper and lower back pain
  • Numbness in her fingers
  • Sciatica in her right knee
  • Depression
  • Duodenal Ulcer

A Series of Suffering

After diving head first into a shallow pool when she was 15, she suffered from 10 car accidents over a 25 year period. This led to her being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia by a medical doctor, and five years later she suffered from another traumatic head injury when she fell down a flight of stairs. This only worsened her neck and back pain and sciatica.

Over the next 12 years, five general chiropractors offered her temporary relief from her symptoms, but she continued to suffer from chronic pain and depression. She also sought relief by taking Vicodin, Flexeril, or Soma for her pain. Her soft tissue injuries also limited her daily activities such as climbing the stairs, swimming, and walking further than 20 feet. And only the use of her wheelchair allowed her to accomplish more in a day without becoming too tired.

Stopping the Pain before it Starts

If you suffer from Fibromyalgia, it is important that you seek out the care of an upper cervical chiropractor. They will examine your neck for any misalignments in those two vertebrae and make any adjustments necessary to realign your upper cervical spine. This will allow the body to begin to heal itself of such health problems as Fibromyalgia.
