Fibromyalgia Patients In San Diego Find Long Term Relief

By Mike Pritsker


Anyone suffering from fibromyalgia knows how painful and depressing life can be. At New Century Spine Centers in San Diego, fibromyalgia is a common ailment that many people come in for. Many fibromyalgia patients who come in for chiropractic care also know how misunderstood this condition can be. Until you suffer with fibromyalgia, it is difficult to really understand the true effects on a person.

There is a lot that is now known about it. With the help of modern research and a little care and understanding from some doctors and chiropractors, they are starting to gain more and more knowledge about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia. It is not a condition that is completely misunderstood anymore.

For example, there was a study that involved 558 chronic pain patients. The American College of Rheumatology found that they could accurately identify which patients had fibromyalgia, at an over 85% accuracy level. This supports that fibromyalgia can be accurately diagnosed and may not be "all in your head" as many doctors and people previously thought.

It was also found in this study that many people can have fibromyalgia with less than the previously required eleven tender trigger points as long as they have widespread pain and many of the following symptoms: fatigue, chronic headache, jaw (TMJ) pain, memory problems, diarrhea, constipation, sleeping problems, muscle pain, morning stiffness, menstrual cramping, numbness and tingling, dizziness, skin and chemical sensitivities.

Stress has long been theorized to be a major factor in fibromyalgia. And starting a new year and the upcoming holidays that come along with it is one of the most stressful times of the year.

Like all doctors' offices, care may vary from office to office. So if you are looking for a Chiropractor who offers short term, affordable fibromyalgia care, or if you have questions, call New Century Chiropractic in San Diego. The chiropractors at New Century Spine Centers can help you get your life back on track and eliminate the pain and suffering associated with fibromyalgia. You can be seen immediately with no obligation to extensive treatment plans.
