Fibromyalgia is a widespread musculoskeletal pain that causes tightness, tenderness, general pain, fatigue, nervous system exhaustion.  There is no specific cause for why it presents, but some studies have shown that it can come on from traumatic accidents, illnesses, and can present itself with no other reason.  Typically, it is seen in adults but can start at any age.

There are different ways to help ease some of the symptoms that are present, such as: Medicine, Vitamins, Minerals, and Alternative Therapies – Chiropractic Care, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine.

The best course of action for this issue is to seek professional help.  A professional will be able to evaluate, diagnose, and build a treatment plan specific to the individual and the issue.  A proper treatment plan for this issue should include manual therapy to help decrease muscular, tendon, and ligament irritations which will help decrease pain.  Joint mobilization/manipulation will help keep the joints moving properly and decrease tension and stiffness.  Stability and strength programming will help improve support and balance to the muscles for decreased risk of irritation.  And finally, build a self-care program for the individual on how to manage this issue on their own.
