Chronic fatigue is becoming more and more common in today’s fast-paced world. It is a condition that is difficult to diagnose and even more challenging when it comes to finding relief that works. It can take months of testing to rule out other conditions and actually get a diagnosis, leaving the sufferer exhausted and frustrated.
There are many theories as to why this condition occurs, but none are conclusive and agreed upon by all—yet another reason why finding a way to cope is so evasive. Medical doctors tend to focus on relieving one or two major symptoms. However, unless the underlying cause is addressed, chronic fatigue will persist.

A Healthy Spine May Alleviate Chronic Fatigue
Those suffering from chronic fatigue fight a daily battle with being exhausted. No amount of rest or sleep ever helps them feel better. There has been a link discovered between improper spine alignment and this condition. Why is this so?
The top two bones of the neck, the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae, have the important job of protecting the spinal cord. They are located where the spinal cord and brainstem meet. If a misalignment exists in these bones, it can hinder the signals being sent to and from the brain and body. Nerves and vascular systems are affected. This sets up the perfect conditions for such serious ailments as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, among others.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Relieves Chronic Fatigue
At Balanced Living Chiropractic, we use a gentle technique that does not force or pop the bones back into place. Rather, the method used targets the precise misaligned bone and helps it to move back into place in a more natural way. Then the body’s own healing abilities can take over and correct the damage done to nerves and soft tissue. This helps the bones stay in alignment longer. Once mended, the body can begin communicating at its optimum once again. This is often all that is required to see the symptoms of chronic fatigue decrease or perhaps go away entirely.
