How Chronic Fatigue Can Be Resolved with Chiropractic Care
Do you constantly feel like you just can’t get enough sleep? Has sleep lost its refreshing magic that it once had? Are you getting frustrated with your inability to focus, concentrate, or remember things? If you answered yes to these questions, you might be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. This can be a debilitating condition that is not as straightforward as other illnesses and can leave a patient with no real answers.
At Harmony Chiropractic and Wellness Clinic in Kelowna, we recognize how frustrating this can be. Fortunately, chiropractic care just might be your answer to getting some relief.
What is chronic fatigue syndrome?
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is more than just tiredness. It drains your motivation and creativity, and it rescinds your ability to move forward in your relationships, your career, and your life. It typically involves debilitating fatigue that persists for more than six months, and can last years. CFS is extremely common in North America and is more prevalent than lupus, multiple sclerosis, and many types of cancer.
What are the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome?
Symptoms of CFS include:
- Extreme fatigue
- Memory loss
- Lack of concentration
- Insomnia
- Joint pain that is not accompanied by redness or swelling
- Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpits and neck
- Muscular pain that is not associated with any other factors
Sore throat
CFS comes with many complications that greatly affect a person’s life. It is associated with depression, increased absence from work, inability to carry out normal daily activities like cooking and cleaning, and social isolation.
How can chiropractic treatment help chronic fatigue syndrome?
As mentioned above, CFS is associated with joint pains, muscular pains, and headaches. It is well-known that chiropractic care can provide relief for these types of symptoms. After just a few chiropractic adjustments, many patients with CFS report:
- increased energy
- less or no pain
- greater flexibility
- increased mobility
- reduced inflammation of joints
Adjustments to the spinal column have been shown to relieve many patients of their chronic fatigue over time. When the spinal column is out of alignment, it creates disturbances in the nervous system. This results in inflammation in the surrounding muscles and soft tissues, making sleep an elusive task.
A proper chiropractic treatment can drastically improve one’s ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, and can help them wake up feeling refreshed on a daily basis.
Each person with chronic fatigue syndrome displays different symptoms and therefore may require different types of treatment to manage their disorder.
Acupuncture, massage, and yoga have also been shown to relieve the pain associated with CFS. At Harmony Chiropractic and Wellness Clinic in Kelowna, our diverse team of chiropractors, RMTs, and acupuncturists can offer you several avenues to finding relief. We understand the hopelessness that can come along with CFS and strive to help our patients on every level – not just symptom control.
It is our goal to get you back at work, thriving, and doing the things that you love as soon as possible.
