If you are struggling with fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Holland sees many people with this particular issue in our Downtown 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. Fortunately, 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 symptoms and anxiety they felt. Then they were divided into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment plan for three months and the second group receiving the same program with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.
The subjects who received chiropractic therapy in addition to the multi-disciplinary therapy program 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 treatment without chiropractic treatment. In addition, those positive results were long-lasting as the people reported continued improvement one full year later.
Fibromyalgia pain can substantially diminish your quality of life, both mentally and physically. If you're dealing with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
