Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia Treatment from Your Chiropractor in Harrisburg, PA

For someone suffering from fibromyalgia, just getting through simple daily tasks can be overwhelming. Our chiropractor describes this ailment as a state of increased sensitivity to pain signals that result in discomfort. Skocik Chiropractic in Harrisburg can help patients achieve relief with customized chiropractic services and massage therapy.

Understanding Fibromyalgia

Researchers have yet to find a cure for fibromyalgia. Diagnosis usually occurs based on symptoms such as fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and cognitive issues. Experts believe the magnified discomfort associated with this disorder results from how the brain processes pain signals.

Women are at greater risk than men for fibromyalgia. Many of the diagnosed patients we see at our Harrisburg clinic suffer from additional complaints such as:

  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Insomnia
  • Tension headaches
  • TMJ
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

Our chiropractor notes that in some patients, symptoms build over time. Sometimes a genetic link is present. Possible identified triggers include prior surgery, stress, infections, and trauma.

Chiropractic Treatment

To receive a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, an individual has a consultation with our chiropractor at Skocik Chiropractic. Our doctor conducts a thorough physical exam and evaluates the information the patient provides regarding complaints and health history. A positive diagnosis must satisfy these criteria:

  • Other health problems potentially responsible for symptoms have been excluded.
  • Evidence exists that symptoms have been present for at least three months at a similar level.
  • The patient meets specific scores on a widespread pain index and a symptom severity scale per the American College of Rheumatology.

Following a diagnosis, our chiropractor provides each patient with a customized treatment plan. Chiropractic treatment reduces the pain that occurs when misaligned spinal vertebrae exert pressure on nerves extending from the spine to additional areas of the body. The use of manual adjustments boosts mechanical function and helps nerve signals arrive at the correct endpoints. Our practice also offers massage therapy, nutrition services, and lifestyle advice to help patients achieve healthier lives, thanks to high-quality, cutting-edge wellness care.
