Fibromyalgia Treatment in Council Bluffs
Addressing Soft Tissue Pain and Restoring Function
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that can cause widespread muscle pain, tenderness, and fatigue. It often impacts sleep quality, concentration, and daily activities. At Total Care Chiropractic, Dr. Denise Woods offers a gentle, individualized approach to help you manage symptoms, improve mobility, and support your overall well-being.
Recognizing the Symptoms First
Fibromyalgia can present differently in each person, but common symptoms include:
- Widespread muscle and joint pain
- Morning stiffness
- Fatigue and reduced energy
- Sleep disturbances or insomnia
- Headaches and migraines
- “Fibro fog” – difficulty concentrating or remembering
The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve nervous system sensitivity, past injuries, chronic stress, and hormonal or immune system factors.
Using a Gentle, Whole-Body Approach
Managing fibromyalgia often requires a multi-pronged strategy. We focus on easing discomfort and supporting nervous system health without aggravating symptoms. Our methods include gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore mobility in the spine and joints, and reduce nerve irritation, as well as soft tissue therapies to relieve muscular tension and promote better circulation.
Our doctor may also provide postural and movement coaching to encourage alignment that reduces strain on sensitive tissues, lifestyle and self-care guidance that includes stretching, pacing, and ergonomics to help manage daily demands, and stress reduction support that teaches patients strategies to calm their nervous system, which may improve sleep and reduce pain levels.
Enhancing Your Quality of Life
Fibromyalgia can feel overwhelming, but with a personalized care plan, many patients find ways to improve function and reduce discomfort. Our goal is to work with you at your pace, adapting care to your sensitivity levels and priorities.
