Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
To find out if you suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a simple
task. Medically, the diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often
involves several tests to rule out other similar disorders like Ebstein
Barr, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and several
other fatigue causing conditions.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is usually only diagnosed by the absence of
these other disorders.
Chiropractors have treated many patients who present with this
condition. Many times, a patient will seek out a chiropractic
alternative when the exhaustive trips for medical testing seem to lead
nowhere or your doctor concludes you simply have Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome. Although chiropractors do not know the cause of this ailment
either, the Chiropractic approach to helping the body to help itself is
often a welcome and winning approach to helping those who suffer from
this condition.
Some chiropractors have seen patients with this condition improve after
upper cervical adjustments. This is the area in your neck that is about
an inch or less below where your head and neck come together. It is
believed that long term irritation to the nerves associated with the
upper cervical spine may create several of the elements found in
Chronic fatigue Syndrome such as an imbalance in the immune system,
chronic muscle stress, and organ and glandular imbalances.
Chiropractic care also helps improve your response to this disorder
through improving the oxygen exchange in your tissues. Therapies like
massage treatments, acupressure, and exercise therapy, are often
utilized in chiropractic offices. Creating a good diet is also another
essential measure in ridding the body of fatigue and supplying it with
energy. Your Doctor of Chiropractic can talk with you to discuss your
particular nutritional needs.
