Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that affects individuals around the world. Many, however, do not seek relief care. Some feel that managing symptoms is simply mind over matter. This alone can cause sufferers to avoid even seeking a diagnosis.

How Most People Relieve their Fibromyalgia
Most resign themselves to taking medications for the pain and taking each day as it comes. Managing the disorder in this way is not easy.
Happily, there are techniques that can help. Most are unaware that fibromyalgia may be more connected to the structural alignment of the neck than a dysfunction within the head. Upper cervical chiropractic care can be a natural and effective way to manage the condition and pain.
NUCCA Technique and Natural Relief
The top two vertebrae (known as the atlas and the axis) in the spine lie just under the brainstem. Should these become misaligned, damage to nerves can result and subsequently symptoms such as widespread pain. Often this information goes unnoticed by many physicians. A number of chronic conditions can be traced back to these two vertebrae being out of their proper position. For this reason, upper cervical chiropractors are in a unique position to help make corrections to fix the underlying problem.
By employing the NUCCA technique, the realignment of the upper vertebrae can be achieved in a gentle way. Once these structures are back in the correct position, the damaged regions and the affected systems have a chance to heal and regain normal function. While taking pain medication may seem to be the only way to control the disease, this does not address the underlying issues. A consultation with an upper cervical chiropractor can determine if an adjustment is necessary. If realignment is needed to reverse the effects of fibromyalgia, this side-effect-free technique could help a person realize a reduction in symptoms or even their resolution.
