Where Does Fibromyalgia Come From?

Neurochemical imbalances are often responsible for the widespread pain of fibromyalgia. The brain may be processing pain incorrectly. Because of this, really anyone can be affected by fibromyalgia, despite the fact that the high-risk categories noted above are more likely.

Finding Help from a Natural Source

How can upper cervical chiropractic help those who are suffering from this condition? It has to do with the top bones of the spine and the way that these can potentially affect the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and blood to the brain. If a misalignment exists, all sorts of symptoms may occur. How do the top bones of the neck come out of proper alignment?

Major or even minor head or neck trauma can be responsible. Whether it was a car accident, a sports injury, or just a common fall, an injury that causes a misalignment of the upper cervical spine can result in brainstem dysfunction and miscommunications in the body, including the way that pain is processed.

Because of this, upper cervical chiropractic care has been able to help many to deal with the symptoms of fibromyalgia. If you are experiencing the symptoms noted above, especially if you have head or neck trauma in your history, come see us at Read Health Centers to learn what upper cervical chiropractic care can do for you.

Ames Chiropractor
When I first heard about NUCCA care, I thought it was too good to be true. But there I was in Chicago, a new chiropractor, with an opportunity to train with a master of this form of care, Dr. Marshall Dickholtz, Sr., and I took him up on his offer to train me. I was astounded by the number of people coming through the door seeking help for all kinds of problems. People who had been everywhere else, had seen everyone else, and had tried everything else. I couldn’t deny that this system of healing was working. It was gentle. It was stable. I wasn’t used to seeing patients hold their corrections like this.
