Fibromyalgia can make even the simplest days feel unpredictable. One moment you’re ready to enjoy a peaceful walk through the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens or meet friends at The Square, and the next, your muscles ache, your energy fades, and your mind feels foggy.
It’s even harder when you look fine on the outside, yet no one sees the effort it takes just to make it through the day—or why you sometimes have to change plans at the last minute.
Understanding Your Body’s Pain Signals
Fibromyalgia essentially turns up your body’s pain volume. Normal sensations that shouldn’t hurt become painful. Pressure that others barely notice feels intense. Scientists believe the condition involves abnormal pain processing in the central nervous system, though the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
Chiropractic Care Targets Nervous System Function
Your spine houses your central nervous system, which controls how your body perceives and responds to pain. When vertebrae become misaligned, they can interfere with nerve function and amplify pain signals. Our West Palm Beach chiropractors for fibromyalgia use precise adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment and optimize nervous system communication.
Think of it like fine-tuning an instrument. When everything is aligned correctly, the whole system performs better. Many fibromyalgia patients report reduced pain intensity and fewer flare-ups with consistent chiropractic care.
Beyond Adjustments
We don’t stop at spinal manipulation. Our comprehensive approach includes soft tissue therapies to release chronically tight muscles, customized exercise programs that build strength without triggering flare-ups, and dietary recommendations to reduce inflammation. Some foods can worsen fibromyalgia symptoms while others provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
Tracking Progress and Adjusting Care
Fibromyalgia varies from person to person. Your triggers aren’t the same as someone else’s. Your symptom patterns are unique. That’s why we customize every treatment plan and adjust it based on how you respond. Some patients need more frequent visits initially, while others maintain improvement with periodic tune-ups.
