Chiropractor for Fibromyalgia: How to Find the Right One for You
Conservative treatments for fibromyalgia include drugs, injection therapy, physical therapy, and surgery 1. But, many people with fibromyalgia find that these treatments don't work.
If you're looking for natural treatments, you may want to try a chiropractor. Chiropractic care can treat fibromyalgia patients' pain and improve mobility through a spine adjustment. These treatments often result in quicker improvements of symptoms compared to using medication alone.

What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that causes pain and tenderness in the muscles and joints. Fibromyalgia is often mistaken for other conditions, such as arthritis. Because the symptoms are similar.
Common fibromyalgia symptoms include:
- Memory problems
- Sleep issues
- Muscle pain
- Headaches
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Pain sensitivity
There is no one test to diagnose fibromyalgia. It is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Meaning that you must rule out other conditions first.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown.
But many believe it changes how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals. There is no cure for fibromyalgia. Treatments can help lessen the pain and other symptoms. Some treatments include medication, exercise, and relaxation techniques.
Can Chiropractors Diagnose Fibromyalgia?
Yes, chiropractors can help diagnose fibromyalgia.
Upon diagnosing your condition, specialists will use chiropractic treatment (e.g., adjustments) alongside lifestyle adjustments to treat fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms.
How Can Chiropractic Care Treat Fibromyalgia?
Chiropractic care can help treat fibromyalgia because it re-aligns the web of nerves your spine sends throughout the body. Thus, it may improve your nervous system.
That is because your body uses your spine and brain to deliver commands to various parts of your body through nerves 2. If these areas do not function properly, your body may suffer from delayed healing, chronic pain conditions, and other disorders that could affect your bodily function.
Chiropractors will tackle issues that stem from your nervous system through spine manipulation, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Chiropractic Adjustments
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Better spinal alignment
You may not likely feel instant relief during your first manipulation. So your specialist will set up a treatment plan for repeat visits.
