Getting Medication-Free Help for Fibromyalgia

Usually, medical care focuses on symptom control. Prescription meds are used to reduce pain, improve sleep, and deal with bladder and bowel symptoms. It is interesting to note that the Mayo Clinic has noticed a trend toward mixing alternative therapies with conventional ones. About 50% of patients also try to find natural forms of relief while continuing a regimen of medications.

Upper cervical chiropractic offers a viable means of finding relief, particularly for those who are experiencing central nervous issues as a result of a C1 and C2 misalignment. These bones are positioned right where the head meets the neck and can cause many problems for the body when it comes to cerebrospinal fluid drainage, pain processing, and the like.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits of upper cervical chiropractic care for those suffering from fibromyalgia, contact us at Advanced Spinal Care. Many have found that a properly aligned C1 and C2 gives the body the chance to heal and may help to reduce symptoms of chronic health conditions like fibromyalgia.
