What are the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

​

If you have fibromyalgia, you might experience one or more of the following signs or symptoms of the disease:

• Widespread pain and stiffness

• Sleeping problems

• Fatigue

• Emotional or mental distress

• Problems paying attention

• Depression or anxiety

• Headaches and migraines

• Numbness or tingling in your feet or hands

• Jaw or face pain

• Digestive issues

​

Fibromyalgia can be debilitating, but you don’t have to suffer through it or take addictive pain medicines. If widespread pain lasts more than a few days or is severe, see the expert team at Complete Wellness for an evaluation. 

​

Risk factors for fibromyalgia include being a woman, having a family history of the disease, and having arthritis. 

​

How is fibromyalgia diagnosed?

​

To diagnose fibromyalgia, your Complete Wellness specialist reviews your medical history and symptoms. They might recommend a blood test to rule out similar medical conditions, but there’s no lab test available to confirm a fibromyalgia diagnosis.

​

What is the treatment for fibromyalgia?

​

To help manage or treat pain caused by fibromyalgia, your chiropractic specialist might recommend:

• Brain tapping - Brain tapping, or forced meditation, helps relax your entire body. It relieves stress, improves sleeping problems, and boosts energy levels.

• Dietary supplements - Taking dietary supplements can optimize your overall health and wellness, improve joint health, and reduce your risk of nutritional deficiencies, injuries, and pain.

• Weight loss - Losing weight can relieve added stress on your joints, reduce widespread pain, and help you feel better overall. Complete Wellness offers a five-week medical weight loss program with proven success.

• Chiropractic adjustments - Adjusting your spine into proper alignment, your Complete Wellness provider uses controlled pressure to correct spinal issues associated with widespread musculoskeletal pain.

• Massage therapy - Massage therapy uses manual pressure to relieve chronic pain, tension, and stress. It enhances healing and helps prevent future pain associated with fibromyalgia.
