Fibromyalgia is known as a predominately womens condition although it does strike some men. It is still a minimally understood disorder. In some instances it requires years of evaluation before it can be confirmed that someone is suffering from it. A prominent Warners Bay NSW chiropractor takes part in making such an evaluation in preparation to devising a care plan for a client.

It contains an all-encompassing set of required symptoms, which make it complicated. Pain must exist in the whole body for a minimum of three months. Pain must be felt in eleven of the so called tender points. These are located close to the chest, shoulder, neck, hips, elbows and knees. Memory impairment, sleep disorders, dizzy spells, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction are present in addition to the muscle pain.

The description of fibromyalgic pain is described by the sufferers as moving around the body or impacting all parts of the body at once. Other terms used are radiating, shooting and aching pain. It is obvious how widespread and life-altering this condition is.

Chiropractic care is considered to be one of the most beneficial approaches to alleviating the pain of fibromyalgia. Massage, ultrasound and electrical stimulation may be effective in bringing about stress relief. An effective care plan will have many components.

Spinal adjustments are the hands-on approach used by chiropractors to care for clients with fibromyalgia. The spine may be misaligned and the adjustments are used to correct this. Joint flexibility is increased, which in turn alleviates the excruciating pain.

The client is required to actively take part in the care planned by the chiropractor. A special diet, mild exercise such as tai chi and following directions devised to induce healthy sleep patterns are necessary. Prior to bedtime, he or she should not watch violent or otherwise disturbing movies. No caffeinated drinks should be taken after a specific hour. Both these things can cause insomnia and are to be avoided.
