Fibromyalgia, Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue, Always Tired, Tired, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, CFS, Chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating health condition. It is more than just feeling worn out from the crazy day to day schedule and stress that we all have to deal with. For a person with chronic fatigue, a good night’s rest is not a quick fix. Even after adequate rest, someone with this condition will still feel exhausted.

The Effect of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome on Quality of Life

The CDC has released a list of symptoms that help to classify chronic fatigue. This is a tough condition to diagnose because there is no specific test that can be run in a lab. However, having four or more of the following symptoms for no other explainable reason is often enough to get a diagnosis:

  • Not refreshed by sleep
  • Cognitive problems (memory and focus)
  • Joint pain
  • Sore throat
  • Muscle pain
  • Headaches
  • Tiredness and weakness after physical or mental exertion
  • Tender lymph nodes

As you can see, these symptoms can have a strong effect on a person’s quality of life. It can be difficult to carry out the most basic of daily schedules.

What can Be Done for Chronic Fatigue Patients?

If you suffer from chronic fatigue, don’t feel that you’ve been condemned to a life of disappointments. While most medical relief care such as anti-inflammatories only offer symptomatic help, there is a natural long-term option you should be aware of.

If you have never heard of upper cervical chiropractic, now is the time to consider case studies published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research, that show quality of life improvement and better sleep for patients seeking this specialized chiropractic care.

The uppermost vertebrae of the spine affect an incredible number of nerves, blood vessels, and even the brainstem itself. As a result, keeping the upper cervical spine in alignment has helped many to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of chronic fatigue and many other systemic health conditions.

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.
