More Than Muscles, Look to the Spine

Office Talk- Tues. Feb. 7 The Psychology of Fibromyalgia

************************************

It is important to look beyond the muscles in fibromyalgia. Muscles hurt and when there is pain all over, it is difficult to move. But, looking at the nervous system which controls the movement and sensations in the muscles are key. Old injuries are correlated with fibromyalgia and develop chironic nervous system backfiring. The chiropractic approach is to adjust the spine up to three times a day, and more than 10 times a week. It takes that much attention to the spine to reverse the chronic patterns that have developed over time.

The following websites have excellent explanations as to why this happens to the nervous system.
