In addition, restless legs, numbness and tingling, impaired memory, leg cramps, impaired concentration and nervousness are accompanying symptoms. Major depression is found in approximately 20% of fibromyalgia patients. While there are no known lab tests that will diagnose this malady, recent research has shown that spinal fluid substance P levels are elevated three-fold in fibromyalgia patients. Spinal levels of nerve growth factor are elevated four-fold in fibromyalgia patients.

- Stress ManagementThe greatest benefits of chiropractic care come when it is used as a preventative tool. The primary function of the spine is the protection of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Because Chiropractic adjustments improve spinal alignment and function, it can reduce stress and irritation of the spinal nerve roots thereby promoting overall health. Chiropractic should be utilized on a regular basis, in conjunction with exercise, good nutrition, rest, not smoking and stress management to promote maximum health.

- Sports MedicineWhile chiropractic is best known as an effective treatment for lower back conditions, it is much more than that. The same principles of rehabilitation, when applied to other areas of the body, make chiropractic effective in treating whiplash injuries, sports injuries, strains, sprains, and even in managing some types of arthritis.
- Physical TherapyAt age 18 my hopes were dashed when I fractured the 2nd Vertebrae in my neck. I was treated with traction, bracing, physical therapy. Thankfully my spine healed but I was left with double vision, severe headaches, neck pain, and the tendency to pass out all the time. I was told that I would never be able to hold a “Normal job”, or live a “Normal life”. After a year and a half of living with all these symptoms I went to visit Palmer College of Chiropractic to see if there was any chance that I still could be a Chiropractor. I received my first Chiropractic adjustment and I was amazed. My symptoms changed dramatically with my first treatment. With a new lease on life I dedicated myself to becoming the best Chiropractor I could be so that I could help people the way my Father and I were both helped.
