Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a nervous disorder that causes extensive pain in soft tissues and muscles, even when there’s no injury or inflammation. Although fibromyalgia doesn't permanently damage the muscles, internal organs, or joints, the pain can be unbearable.
If you are in agony from widespread bodily pain, you may have fibromyalgia. Our doctor in Tarpon Springs understands the severity of your condition, and more importantly, we can treat it. We can help identify your symptoms, develop the treatment plan you need, and relieve your fibromyalgia pain so that you can get back to enjoying an active lifestyle and feel like yourself again.
Chiropractic Care for Fibromyalgia Relief
We successfully use chiropractic care to help with fibromyalgia symptoms. Our chiropractor will improve your skeletal and nervous system function by manipulating your spine. After alleviating stress on your nerves (a major part of fibromyalgia), increasing mobility, and enhancing your overall function, your fibromyalgia pain will lessen.
Fibromyalgia Symptoms
The symptoms of fibromyalgia will vary from person to person, but the most common symptoms are:
- Deep, widespread or burning pain above and below your waist
- Anxiety or depression
- Pain in the trunk, neck, lower back, hips, and shoulders
- Headaches, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating
- Muscle aches or joint pain all over

Physical strain, changes in weather, and emotional stress can influence your symptoms. No matter when your fibromyalgia symptoms occur, our doctor will help identify your condition and relieve your pain.
What Causes Fibromyalgia?
On a physiological level, fibromyalgia has been linked to hormone deficiency, musculoskeletal disorders, sensitive nerve cells, and chemical imbalances in the brain. Fibromyalgia trigger points could also be connected to a certain event, like accidents, surgeries, injuries, or emotional trauma. Whether there’s a simple explanation or a complex system of causes, our doctor will get to the underlying issue and treat your pain with the care you deserve.
