Fibromyalgia is a mysterious syndrome that sometimes stumps doctors. This collection of debilitating fatigue, pain, and other symptoms can keep you from performing everyday tasks or enjoying any of your favorite activities.

But you can get the relief you need from the worst of your symptoms , without relying on medication, thanks to the fibromyalgia management options available here at Campion Chiropractic Clinic located in College Station TX.

Fibromyalgia Pain and Other Chronic Symptoms

Fibromyalgia is not as well understood as many other musculoskeletal syndromes. The current theory is that people with fibromyalgia have too little serotonin in relation to another neurotransmitter called Substance P. Since serotonin contributes feelings of well-being and comfort, while substance P plays a role in pain sensitivity, the result is an extreme awareness of and hypersensitivity to pain signals. This causes muscles to tense up into tight knots known as tender points, adding to the generalized feelings of pain throughout the body. Other symptoms of fibromyalgia include fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, migraines, foggy thinking, and irritable bowel syndrome. Fibromyalgia seems to afflict women more frequently than men; physical and emotional trauma may trigger its onset.

Getting treatment for fibromyalgia is no small task. Since the underlying causes of fibromyalgia are so hard to pin down and evaluate, the only way for doctor to confirm a diagnosis is by requiring patients to display a certain number of tender points in all four quadrants of the body for at least 3 months. That's a long time to wait for treatment -- especially when individual tender points may seem to come and go.
