Fibromyalgia and Your Care: How's That Working for You?

Dr. Phil often talks to viewers about their concerns this way. I think something can be learned from this approach when it comes to our bodily health. Perhaps you've been through the health care maze known as "fibrocare."

Many patients start off with one little problem, such as fatigue or a headache, which just seems to grow and grow, much like the entourage of doctors we collect to get answers. How many physicians did you see before being properly diagnosed? Unfortunately, most fibro sufferers endure years of misdiagnoses, years of visits to various specialists, and of course constant and widespread pain. So is it working well? Are you getting healthy? Getting back to your old healthy self? Is so, then great. If not, then read on.

Were alternatives and perhaps more natural/non-drug approaches brought to your attention? Unfortunately the maze can be quite daunting...hard to really get a sense of any direction or what lies around the next corner.

Chiropractic care is one such alternative that remains a practical secret for many. You've seen signs for chiropractic doctors, but what do they do?

How would they approach the fibromyalgia problem? As with any health issue it's impossible to tell what is going on and what is the best remedy without a thorough examination. I cannot speculate on your personal health. Everyone is an individual and deserves very specific attention.

What I do know is that chiropractic care does seem to improve many types of aches and pain, including those associated with fibromyalgia. Spinal pain is one of the most common symptoms.

Although I have few doubts about the importance of regular chiropractic in my own and my family's life, most patients rarely see how they could potentially benefit from such care.

Since I cannot afford to run television advertisements at prime time each night (in contrast to big drug companies), to start to change the public's perception, I send these Health Updates.

My hope is that you will be interested enough to call and discuss how my chiropractic care could be a potential solution to your fibromyalgia pains. No promises other than I will do my level best to try and help.
