Fibromyalgia is chronic condition that has no cure, but we here at Back and Neck Care Chiropractic offer various treatments that can help alleviate the symptoms. Our Vancouver chiropractor Dr. Michael Pettet can create an individualized treatment plan that targets the most severe symptoms and helps to make living with fibromyalgia less of a pain. Pain management is typically a large part of our plan since overall discomfort is one of the conditions foremost symptoms.

People suffering from fibromyalgia often experience back pain as well as stiffness and soreness in all four of the bodys quadrants. Additional symptoms often include headaches, sleep issues, tingling or numbness in the arms and legs, restless leg syndrome, sensitivity to temperature, and irritable bowel syndrome. Another symptom is problems with memory and thinking, a condition often referred to as fibro fog. Our Vancouver chiropractic treatments aim to address and alleviate each symptom while improving your overall quality of life.

Dr. Pettet can administer chiropractic treatments that include spinal adjustments to ensure your body is properly aligned and all systems are optimally balanced. Back pain and other agony are often exacerbated by a misalignment that is pinching a nerve and causing discomfort and dysfunction in bodily systems associated with the nerve. Our massage therapy serves as another effective pain management technique as it helps to alleviate muscle tension and stiffness, improve circulation, and provide overall stress relief.

Two other areas our Vancouver chiropractor may focus on are diet and exercise. Both are essential in order to keep the body performing at its optimum capacity. A healthy eating plan ensures your body is receiving the nutrients it needs while exercise helps to keep muscles flexible and mobile.

Even though fibromyalgia has no cure, proper pain management can help make living with the condition more comfortable. A body that is in its optimum state will perform best under any conditions, and we can help you achieve that optimum state.
