Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. For many, it can be debilitating and difficult to manage. Chiropractic care offers a natural, effective approach to alleviating the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Discover how Dr. Serena Kleinstub can help you manage this condition and improve your quality of life.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a disorder marked by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain and spinal cord process pain signals.
Common Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
- Widespread Pain: A constant dull ache that has lasted for at least three months.
- Fatigue: Feeling tired despite getting enough sleep, often accompanied by sleep disorders.
- Cognitive Difficulties: Often referred to as “fibro fog,” this includes problems with focus, attention, and concentration.
- Other Symptoms: Including headaches, depression, and abdominal pain.
