Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic Treatment

Fibromyalgia is a chronic and lifelong condition. Constant pain takes a toll on your quality of life. That’s why Dr. James Huggins Jr. of Carolina Chiropractic Center offers holistic and noninvasive treatments. But what is Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) exactly? It is a chronic pain disorder, causing widespread pain throughout the musculoskeletal system. The muscles, joints, soft tissues, and tendons are all affected. Chiropractic adjustments and manipulations greatly decrease painful symptoms. Learn more by contacting our office today.

 

FMS is hard to diagnose and treat. To this day, there is no known medical cause for its development. Theories range from genetics, infections, and even physical/emotional stress. With traditional Western medicine, professionals focus on just treating your symptoms. Pain medication is the go-to treatment. Only with chiropractic care is your entire body the focus. Your Florence, SC, chiropractor believes that treating the root of the pain cures any symptoms. These noninvasive treatments are the only way to improve your quality of life.

 

Spinal misalignments are referred to as a subluxation. Having one increases your painful FMS symptoms. This is due to the nature of subluxations, which interrupt the nervous system. Your nervous system provides communication for your entire body. It’s a necessary bodily system. Spinal manipulation relieves these blockages. Dr. Huggins Jr. uses his hands or tools to release the subluxation. He moves the injured vertebra back into place. It is a quick and nearly painless process.

 

Chiropractic treatment is a necessary investment for FMS patients. It improves your sleep, pain, and fatigue levels. Patients benefit greatly from bi-weekly treatments. Learn more about services like spinal manipulation and chiropractic massage.

Improving Your Posture for Back Pain

At Carolina Chiropractic Center, we advise our patients on how to practice good posture habits. When you have poor posture, chronic or acute lower back pain is common and can affect everyday activities. To mitigate this problem, Dr. James Huggins Jr. utilizes different methods such as spinal manipulation and therapeutic exercises.

If you work at a desk job, we encourage you to get up every 20-30 minutes and stretch. The way you sit in your chair is important to your posture. When you are at your computer, make sure your back is against the chair and your feet are at a 90-degree angle while the screen is even with your eyes to avoid looking too far up or down.

Regardless of the intensity of the exercise, just being physically active for 30 minutes to an hour a day will strengthen your core muscles and help with your lower back pain.

Don’t forget, when you are experiencing back pain to move around and improve your posture. If the pain in your back lingers for longer than a week or two, schedule an appointment with Dr. James Huggins Jr.

The Benefits of a Healthy Diet for your Body

Our doctors at Carolina Chiropractic Center specialize in treating the body with various spinal adjustments to help heal, repair, and maintain your joints and muscles. While chiropractic care mainly focuses on adjustments and spinal manipulation, a big part of your body functioning healthy is a healthy, nutritious diet.

Your body relies on food for energy and muscle gain which all affects your body’s ability to function at a high level.

A balanced amount of essential nutrients such as fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates ensure that your body is having proper digestion and regulating itself. The more fruits and vegetables your body gets, the better it will feel. A poor diet increases your chances of developing diabetes and heart disease which limit you physically.

Proper nutrition aids your bodies in healing and running like a well-oiled machine. The balance of a proper diet combined with exercise and spinal adjustments is a good recipe to feeling healthy energized.
