Symptoms

If you wake up feeling tired and run down and have generalized pain throughout your body that doesn’t seem to improve, you could have fibromyalgia. Waking up multiple times a night and not being able to get back to sleep is also a sign of this condition. If caught early and treated appropriately fibromyalgia pain can resolve or at least be controlled. Chiropractic treatment is a very effective and gentle approach in the relief of fibromyalgia pain.
