Fibromyalgia(FM) is a chronic disorder involving pain and an increased sensitivity in the entire musculoskeletal system. To be diagnosed with FM a patient generally must possess a minimum of 11 out of 18 specific tender points on the body.
In addition to pain, most FM patients that I treat generally suffer from long term fatigue and/or sleep and mood disturbances. This condition affects almost every aspect of your life in a not so positive way.
Here is where I can help. Vertebral subluxations are focal areas of spinal restriction and/or malposition. When present, subluxations will not only irritate the nerves that exit the spine (peripheral nervous system), but the irritations from these lesions will also feedback into the brain (central nervous system).
Chiropractors detect and correct subluxations with gentle spinal adjustments and pressure points. If you suffer from FM or know someone that does, encourage them to add chiropractic to their health regimen. For more information and to schedule a consultation call 631-647-8324 TODAY! Our office is located in East Islip, NY just south of Sunrise Highway.
