Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation Found Effective for Treating Fibromyalgia Diagnosis in Noblesville

If you are struggling with fibromyalgia, you are not alone, as Dr. Dahlager sees many patients with this particular syndrome in our Noblesville chiropractic office. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 2% of all adults in the US have fibromyalgia pain. Luckily, chiropractic therapy is one treatment option that can provide positive results.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps Fibromyalgia Pain

In a medical study published in mid-2015, 215 women and men with fibromyalgia were evaluated based on factors ranging from pain to quality of sleep to the levels of depression or anxiety they felt. Then they were divided into two groups with one group receiving a multi-modal treatment program for three months and the second group receiving the same program with the addition of chiropractic adjustments (specifically, to the upper neck tissues) for the same length of time.

The subjects who received chiropractic care in addition to the multi-disciplinary treatment program reported greater results in all areas (pain, sleep, depression, and anxiety) at three months post-treatment when compared to the study people who received multi-modal treatment without chiropractic adjustments. Furthermore, those positive benefits were long-lasting as the patients reported continued improvement one full year later.

Fibromyalgia pain can greatly decrease your quality of life, both psychologically and physically. If you're suffering from fibromyalgia, we might be able to help.
