Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments Found Effective during Treatment of Fibromyalgia Pain in Noblesville

If you are afflicted by fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Dahlager sees many people with this particular condition in our Noblesville chiropractic office. Actually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 2% of all adults in the US have fibromyalgia pain. Thankfully, chiropractic care is one treatment option that can provide positive results.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Eases Fibromyalgia Issues

In a medical study released in mid-2015, 215 adults 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 split into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment plan for three months and the second group receiving the same approach with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck area) for the same length of time.

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

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