Fibromyalgia
Do you have joint pain all over your body? It may be caused by Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes widespread muscle pain, joint pain, and chronic fatigue, and it could be to blame for your discomfort.
Fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. If you believe your body pain and muscle aches are due to this condition, our chiropractor in Delray Beach can help you. He offers regenerative medicine and chiropractic care that tackles the root cause of your condition.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia can feel like osteoarthritis. Almost everyone with this condition experiences chronic pain that may be deep, sharp, dull, throbbing, or aching, as well as fatigue.
You may also feel pain in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the joints. Sometimes, the pain comes and goes or may travel throughout your body. You may also have trigger points, which are tender spots around your joints that hurt when you apply pressure to them.
These tender points are often located under the surface of the skin in the muscular tissue around joints.
Treatment Options We Provide
Regardless of the cause of your pain, one or a combination of our treatments might help to ease your fibromyalgia symptoms.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP injections contain a significant concentration of platelets, which release growth factors. These growth factors trigger healing bioactive materials to proliferate and encourage your body to self-heal.
- Chiropractic Care: Our chiropractor uses gentle adjustments to the spine to correct misalignments, which can help release the stress behind some of your symptoms and improve pain, fatigue, and quality of sleep.
Symptoms & Causes of Fibromyalgia
In addition to chronic pain and fatigue, if you have fibromyalgia, you may also experience sleep, concentration, and memory issues.
