Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition marked by widespread pain, fatigue, and tender points—yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. At Coniglio Chiropractic Wellness Center, we provide compassionate, targeted care for fibromyalgia sufferers in Sewell NJ, using a blend of chiropractic care, trigger point therapy, and lifestyle guidance.
Understanding Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia affects over 3 to 6 million Americans—mostly women—and is difficult to diagnose. Although the condition does not damage joints or organs, it often leads to debilitating muscle tightness, pain, and reduced flexibility. A buildup of “ground substance” protein in the muscles may contribute to persistent knots and pain flare-ups.
Why Chiropractic Helps
As muscles tighten, the spine becomes less mobile—creating a vicious pain cycle. Chiropractic care gently restores flexibility and mobility to the spine, helping to ease muscle tension. Regular adjustments (often 3–4 per month) are tailored for fibromyalgia patients, ensuring a gentle yet effective approach to relief.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are painful muscle knots that differ from tender points in how they respond to pressure. Many fibromyalgia patients have both. Trigger point therapy can offer significant relief, especially when performed with a light touch to avoid aggravating symptoms.
Smart Lifestyle Tips
- Sleep Well: Quality sleep is critical for healing, yet fibromyalgia often interferes. Prioritizing good sleep habits is essential.
- Gentle Exercise: Low-impact activities like walking or swimming reduce pain and improve mobility without overtaxing the body.
- Work Smart: Ergonomics and flexible schedules can make daily work life easier to manage with fibromyalgia.
- Eat Clean: Focus on anti-inflammatory, whole foods—like berries, oats, brown rice, soy, and turkey—to support your body’s healing systems.
Fibromyalgia doesn’t have to control your life. With the right care plan—including chiropractic treatment, gentle therapies, and proactive lifestyle choices—you can find meaningful relief and a path toward healing.
