Here at Cornerstone Chiropractic, we are pleased to serve as your local Everett chiropractic choice. One of the physical conditions that our patients have been asking us about quite often is fibromyalgia. Everett chiropractor, Dr. Michael Ilyankoff and his associate chiropractor and wife Dr. Lisa Ilyankoff, both treat fibromyalgia and its associated problems, such as back pain often and create different treatment plans for patients to better manage their pain.
Fibromyalgia is a disease that affects the muscles and connective tissues in the body. It can cause pain in nearly every area of the body, including back pain, and also causes patients to become easily fatigued. It can also bring on headaches, shoulder pain, neck pain, and hip pain.
It is not yet certain what causes fibromyalgia to happen in some people and not in others, but it is possible that genetics plays a role, as do stress levels. Certain neurotransmitters in the brain may also be connected to fibromyalgia as well. Depression may play a factor in the development of fibromyalgia. People who were in traumatic accidents, such as a car accident in which they suffered damage to the neck, may be at higher risk for development of chronic pain
Fibromyalgia: Helping to Ease the Pain
No matter the reason for your fibromyalgia, our team here at Cornerstone Chiropractic is here to stop it from stopping you. The fatigue and pain that this disease causes can be truly debilitating, and we understand how it may have stopped you from living a normal life.
