Fibromyalgia Treatment Indianapolis, IN

If you are experiencing severe pain, pain from receiving a slight touch to an area of your body, or experiencing pain from someone brushing pass you, then you may have Fibromyalgia. You can schedule an appointment with Dr. John Dettmer, DC of Spinal Aid of Indiana in Indianapolis, IN for help with release of your pain.

Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is believed to be genetic and known for its cause of chronic pain. You may not suffer from everyday chronic pain; the pain associated with fibromyalgia does come and go.

The symptoms of fibromyalgia are:

- Unceasing general pain
- Sensitivity to light touch
- Needle-like feelings in the skin
- Muscle pain
- Muscle spasms that last
- Weak limbs
- Inability to get purposeful sleep
- Headaches
- Twitches
- Bowel difficulties

Fibromyalgia can cause all of the above symptoms at any given time and even difficulty with your memory. Short-term memory, trouble with concentration, the inability to multi-task and perform tasks quickly and a minimum to no attention span. Fibromyalgia can also affect just one area of the body, instead of spreading. For example, you may have pain in your shoulders, hips, neck, lower back and face as well as other areas. You may experience the onset of the pain slowly. It sometimes can be aggravated by such things as the weather changing.

Some patients with fibromyalgia have to change their lifestyle due to the pain that they are feeling. There are patients that find that over-the-counter medications help them for the moment, but why not seek out help that will be able to help you over a long period of time. There are various treatments that can be given to assist with the pain and discomfort that you are feeling.
