The Risks of Fibromyalgia
Hey there, I’m Dr. Jeremiah Sample with Family First Chiropractic, and today I’m here to talk to you about a debilitating condition called fibromyalgia and how chiropractic care can help.
According to the National Institutes of Health, up to five million people a year are affected by this condition, usually between the ages of 20 and 55, and they are more likely to be female.
Now, the risk of this is not just from the pain side, but also the fact that when you have fibromyalgia symptoms and aren’t managing the pain properly, you’re 3.4 times more likely to develop major depression symptoms. All right? So, let’s talk about it.
Chiropractic Adjustments, Inflammation, and Range of Motion
With chiropractic care and specific chiropractic adjustments, studies have shown that you will increase blood flow with each one. What this does is help move the inflammation from the affected areas, lower cortisol levels, and increase range of motion.
With increased range of motion and less inflammation, you’re able to enjoy more activities throughout the day and help keep yourself busy and moving as you should.
Improving Posture and Mental Well-Being
Now, in addition, it also improves your posture. Posture is not only important for keeping your organs healthy and for keeping your spine healthy, but it also indicates ways that it helps with your mental well-being, okay?
So, if you have questions about fibromyalgia and how chiropractic care can help you, a loved one, or someone you know, please comment below, and we’ll reach out to you.
