As a family chiropractor in Centennial Colorado, I’ve worked with all kinds of patients over the past few years. We treat people from 0 to 100, and everywhere in between. We’ve helped patients:

Recover from birth trauma. As a newborn, an infant goes through a traumatic experience during delivery. Health consequences and hidden injuries can take years to materialize. Adjustments shortly after birth can help an infant recover hidden nerve damage, and avoid potential problems down the road.

Excel at sports. Kids and sports go together. From soccer, to baseball to football, we’re pushing our kids to excel at earlier ages. With more access to sports, there are also increased risks of injury. Chiropractic care from early on can help reduce the possibility of injury, and help a child recover quicker when injury occurs.

Reduce symptoms of disease. From fybromyalgia to migraines, a good portion of today’s diseases are caused by stress. Stress is linked to nerve damage, which can be controlled by adjustments through chiropractic care.

Concentrate of good health instead of responding to problems. Western medicine has always been reactionary. Wait until you have a problem, then deal with it by throwing medicine at it. Unfortunately that has led to our current medical crisis. If you are ready to focus on wellness and how you can maintain good health now and into the future, chiropractic care is for you.

Increasingly people are saying yes.

Fibromyalgia is a disorder of the muscles. Its main symptoms include muscle pain, tender points throughout the body, fatigue and sleeping disorders, and mild to severe depression. Fibromyalgia affects primarily women between the ages of 20 and 50, with current numbers showing around 3 to 6 million Americans currently diagnosed.

In many cases, western medicine simply provides a prescription to try and reduce the symptoms. Because someone may be suffering from a variety of things, one pill can’t cover everything. So certain symptoms may persist.

Studies are repeatedly performed in which a comparison is made between drug treatment and lifestyle modifications. When a woman takes an active approach in changing her lifestyle – more exercise, change of the diet, rest and relaxation, and using wellness techniques such as chiropractic care – she will invariably see better results from the latter approach.

Chiropractic care helps by adjusting the spine, relieving the tension, and improving the way your nervous system talks to your body. Chiropractic care doesn’t cure fibromyalgia, or provide a quick fix to your health issues. Instead, its about adjusting the way your body functions, and bringing it back to optimal working order (or as close as possible).

If you’ve tried other approaches, and you just can’t seem to get relief, maybe its time for a new approach. Chiropractic care may be the help you’ve been looking for.

Fibromyalgia is a non-life threatening disorder of the muscles. It’s main symptoms include muscle pain, tender points throughout the body, fatigue and sleep disorders. Many people describe living with fibromyalgia in similar ways as living with the flu.

Experts estimate that anywhere from 3 to 6 million Americans are currently living with fibromyalgia, with over 80 percent being women. A woman will typically be diagnosed with fibromyalgia between the ages of 20 and 50, and may also have a contributing factor of lupus, rheumatic disease, or Sjogren’s syndrome.

While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is still undetermined, experts have listed possible causes or triggers as inadequate sleep, physical or emotional injury or trauma, bacterial or viral infection, or abnormal production of pain-related chemicals in the brain and nerves.

Because of this last potential trigger, many patients recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia are finding pain relief in the form of chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care is not about curing. It’s about correcting. Chiropractic care is based on very basic scientific fact. Your brain is responsible for every bodily function you ever perform. Your brain sends instructions through your body via your nervous system. If any area in your nervous system is damaged in any way, the instructions miss their mark – resulting in loss of function. That function may begin as something small and unnoticeable, and may take years to build and become a steady problem.

But once the problem begins, it begins to impact your health, even if it’s ever so slightly.

Chiropractic care is about relieving the pressure, working with your body to get your nervous system back in order. If you are living with fibromyalgia and are looking  for alternative treatments that can help you get back to healthy living, give chiropractic care a try.
