Get Natural Fibromyalgia Relief

Picture
A history of head or neck trauma should always be investigated by an Upper Cervical Chiropractor trained in the detection and correction of the Atlas Subluxation Complex (A misalignment of the top bone in the neck).  This misalignment causes brain stem dysfunction which can lead to all sorts of changes in the way that all the body systems work.  more specifically to patients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia,  the brain stem is connected to immune system, circulatory system, respiratory system and digestive system functioning.  

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Upper Cervical
Frequently what we find with patients is Fibromyalgia, fibrositis, or Chronic Fatigue will be associated with an undetected brain stem injury.  If the Brain Stem, a key component in regulating energy level, is not functioning the way it was designed you will have a hard time recovering.
When someone has accidents and injuries that have torn loose the connective tissue that holds the spine in place it will allow the spine to breakdown and lock into a stressed position.  The area of the spine that is most frequently affected is the upper neck area because it is the most movable and the most vulnerable to injury.  Once this upper neck area is misaligned it will begin to affect the function of the brain stem.  This brain stem pressure can lead to a variety of problems including dysfunction with the release of cortisol.  Altered cortisol levels can have many different affects on both the mind and the body.
The Mayo Clinic states that “the long-term activation of the stress-response system — and the subsequent overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones can disrupt almost all your body’s processes. This puts you at increased risk of numerous health problems, including:
  • Sleep Problems
  • Digestive problems
  • Depression
  • Obesity
  • Memory Impairment
These are some of the most common symptoms associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
One of the top upper cervical chiropractors in the world Dr. Marshall Dickholtz Sr. along with a medical doctor and a psychiatrist did some very interesting research several years ago looking at the connection between the upper cervical spine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  Here’s what they found when they compared quality of life measurements using a survey called the SF-36 six months after the initial correction to normal subjects:
  • Physical      Functioning increased from 58% to 85%!
  • General Health      improved from 35% to 55%
  • Vitality      improved from 17% to 55%
  • Social      Functioning increased from 40% to 70%
  • Mental Health      improved from 50% to 70%
In addition, both the quality and quantity of sleep improved based on all testing and there was significant decrease in sleep medication usage.  And maybe most remarkable all subjects in the study found a normalization of cortisol levels in the morning and evening readings at 6 months into care!  Amazing improvement!  Not only were they feeling better but their bodies were actually working better.
