Treating Fibromyalgia in Lake Charles

Fibromyalgia treatment, Lake Charles Chiropractor

Feeling sore or uncomfortable is a natural part of life, which occurs after exercise, traveling or otherwise pushing your body. When you develop pain and discomforts without any obvious cause, it impacts your lifestyle and distracts from your interests. Fibromyalgia causes a wide spread pain throughout your body and it does not always have an obvious reason. Experiencing pain in your joints or throughout your body requires an appropriate diagnosis and then a treatment plan.

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia refers to a musculoskeletal condition. It is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood due to limited details about the underlying causes of the condition. Although it occurs most often in women, it can occur in men as well. The age when it starts depends on the individual and it can occur in individuals in their early to mid-20s as well as older adults. 

The condition is often misdiagnosed due to the complexity of the symptoms and the situation. It is similar to osteoarthritis because it causes wide spread joint pain, but it also causes additional symptoms and does not necessarily relate to the connective tissues in the joints. You may notice specific pain points with sharper or more obvious pain, generalized muscle pains and fatigue when developing fibromyalgia.

How Fibromyalgia can Impact Your Health

When you visit a chiropractor at our clinic in Lake Charles, we assist with the recovery process. We understand the possible complications associated with long-term fibromyalgia and the impacts the condition has on your physical and emotional health.

Severe variations of the condition impact your state of mind and cause fibromyalgia syndrome. It may result in fatigue, depression and emotional complications. It also results in more severe physical pain and may not respond well to harsh medications. Since doctors may also misdiagnose the condition, individuals may not find relief with harsh medications.

Taking a medication also impacts personal health due to the potential side effects. Certain medications may cause as much harm or difficulty as the condition, especially when using inappropriate treatment solutions.
