Fibromyalgia Patients Suffer More Pain Around The Holidays

By Mike Pritsker


At New Century Spine Centers in San Diego, fibromyalgia is a common problem that many patients come in to get treatment for. Many fibromyalgia patients who come in for chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy also know how misunderstood this condition can be. Any person suffering from fibromyalgia knows how painful and depressing life can be when they have this condition. Until you suffer with fibromyalgia or similar conditions, it is difficult to really understand the true effects that it has on a person.

But, with the help of modern research (and a little care and understanding) some doctors are starting to gain more and more knowledge about the causes, diagnosis and treatment. It is not a condition that is completely misunderstood anymore.

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. This study involved 558 chronic pain patients.

It was also found in the 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, morning stiffness, menstrual cramping, numbness and tingling, dizziness, memory problems, diarrhea, constipation, sleeping problems, muscle pain, 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 chiropractic and doctors' offices, care may vary from location to location. 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.
