Chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia offers a holistic and multimodal approach to managing the symptoms of this complex and often debilitating condition. Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and tender points throughout the body. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, it is believed to involve abnormalities in pain processing within the central nervous system, as well as factors such as genetics, stress, and trauma.

Chiropractic treatment for Fibromyalgia sufferers has proven to help relieve back, neck, and leg pain in addition to releasing compression on the upper spine called upper cervical spinal stenosis. 

Dr. Kennedy is trained to assess the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, and understands how dysfunction in these systems can contribute to pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. Chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia typically focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being through a combination of manual therapies, gentle adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations. For Fibromyalgia patients, chiropractic care is a low risk treatment that provides lasting results and relief.

Manual therapies commonly used in chiropractic care for fibromyalgia may include soft tissue techniques such as massage therapy, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. These techniques aim to alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain sensitivity, and improve circulation, which can provide relief from fibromyalgia symptoms. Dr. Kennedy  may also employ gentle spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae and alleviate pressure on the nervous system, which may help improve pain perception and overall function.
