Fibromyalgia is not an imaginary condition. Modern science found correlations with sudden trauma of accidents, PTSD, and even a bacterial presence. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that the pain is often debilitating, and many suffers find relief through appointments with a Norwalk Chiropractor.

Safety and information are first. Get a family member to take you to your appointment and help you fill out the forms concerning your medical history and prescriptions. Write a brief description of the pain, how severe it is and what time of day or night it seems worse than usual. Be truthful, so the doctor knows how best to address your condition.

A technician will escort you to an examination room. The doctor enters and reads your forms. At this point, he or she will have you do some range-of-motion tests to determine your dexterity. X-rays are taken to determine physical problems with your spine, and the doctor explains them for you to understand.

A massage is usually conducted to help relax the muscles, and a physical examination of your spine indicates precise areas of tenderness. If indicated, the doctor will do an adjustment and re-conduct a short range-of-motion test to check the results. This is the time to be honest and not exaggerate or minimize any pain.

Prolonged health issues need more attention than a single visit. Setup your return appointments to fit your lifestyle. Please remember to call 24 hours ahead to reschedule, or cancel. It is important to have these professionals monitor your progress in case there is a need to increase or decrease an exercise.

Chiropractic care is a holistic means to regaining and maintaining whole body health without chemicals or surgery. Fibromyalgia is not a natural condition and often suffers find relief from this all natural approach to muscle pain. This is a good reason to contact a chiropractor for your first appointment.
