Fibromyalgia X

I Don’t Fit In Those Categories…

Q: If I never had an injury to my neck or cervical spine or the other two reasons, how is it possible that I have fibromyalgia?

A: It’s possible that you may have had an injury that you don’t recall because you were too young. It’s possible that there are other causes for the disorder as well.

Some researchers blame bacteria or viruses for triggering fibromyalgia while others state that metabolic or hormonal changes, especially in thyroid hormone are the cause.

Others believe that changes or abnormalities in the sympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that helps us deal with extreme stress and survival situations are behind the real cause of fibromyalgia. No one really knows for sure.

There are some studies that show that fibromyalgia sufferers are more sensitive to pain signals in the brain. This causes higher levels of neutrotransmitters that are created in the brain. With higher levels of neurotransmitters, the least little trigger to the pain receptors such as a touch of the forearm can cause pain.

Missing or postponing your treatment schedule can interfere with the retraining of your spine. This type of care is the least expensive, and doesn’t require a lot of adjustments. In the majority of cases relief care does not remove the cause of your symptoms. Relief care will give a patient quick relief from their pain symptoms.

Spinal Decompression Protocol

A Spinal Decompression treatment protocol consists of about 18-24 treatments over a period of 4-8 weeks. This is a non-surgical procedure, and lasts about 20-30 minutes in duration. Many patients feel pain relief after only a few treatments, where others feel the benefits after completion of their treatment protocol. For more information see my video!
