Fibromyalgia is a word that means "fibrous-muscle-spasms", which is often used as a catch all diagnosis for unknown pains throughout the body. Many people I have seen are diagnosed with "fibromyalgia", but still suffer tremendously from pain, disability, and fear avoidance beliefs. Some research demonstrates that vitamin D deficiency can contribute to this condition and there are thousands of anecdotal stories of chiropractic helping these patients. Everything in the body is controlled by nerves including muscles of the body. Chiropractic works to restore motion to joints and prevent nerves from becoming irritated or "pinched". I am not saying that chiropractic can cure fibromyalgia, but I am saying that everyone deserves to find out if it could help. I recommend finding a chiropractor who is trained in spinal manipulation, spinal rehabilitation, and nutritional counseling. Don't rely on drug companies or insurance companies to tell you about non-pharmacalogical or non-surgical solutions for anything. Our goal is to teach you how to stay healthy, happy, and drug-free.
