Fibromyalgia Relief with Chiropractic

If you are afflicted by fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Kasprack sees many people with this particular problem in our Clarksdale, Hernando, & Olive Branch chiropractic practice. Actually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that roughly 2% of all adults in the United States have fibromyalgia pain. Fortunately, chiropractic treatment is one treatment option that can provide positive results.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Lessens Fibromyalgia Discomfort

In a study released in mid-2015, 215 adults with fibromyalgia were assessed based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression symptoms or 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 approach plus chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck tissues) for the same length of time.

The subjects who received chiropractic therapy in conjunction with the multi-modal treatment approach reported greater results in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at 12 weeks post-treatment when compared to the study people who received multi-modal therapy without chiropractic therapy. In addition, those positive results were long-lasting as the patients reported continued improvement one full year later.

Fibromyalgia discomfort can substantially diminish your quality of life, both mentally and physically. If you're struggling with fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
