Fibromyalgia

Muscle pain, fatigue, and depression are just a few of the symptoms of "Fibro."

 
One of the major complaints is fatigue, which some patients report as more debilitating than the pain. Fatigue and sleep disturbances are, in fact, almost universal in patients with fibromyalgia. Some experts believe that without these symptoms, physicians should seek a diagnosis other than fibromyalgia.

Quick Facts About Fibromyalgia

People who do not suffer from fibro can't begin to understand this disease. Friends and family members sometimes think that a person is just lazy or it’s all in their head. How can a person look so normal and feel so bad? Just imagine how it must feel to be exhausted and in pain all the time.

Weather changes, the time of day, physical activity, and stressful events are all factors in the different levels of pain experienced from day to day. The pain has been described as stiffness, aching, burning, stabbing, radiating, and sudden. The pain is often more intense after disturbed sleep, which is a common complaint among sufferers. 

Although at this time there is no known cure, your chiropractor can be very helpful in treating fibromyalgia. Dr. Berry has found treatment is most successful with a multifaceted approach.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments using the ProAdjuster help to relieve stiffness, pain, and muscle tension. Physiotherapies will decrease pain and inflammation in the affeced areas. Dietary changes over time lower inflammation in the body that leads to pain, while nutritional supplementation can address underlying deficiencies.

Patient Reviews

TOM, St. Augustine, FL

Dr. Berry,

I would like to thank you for showing concern for a new client. I came to your office last Thursday and your putting concern for me instead of your business SAVED MY LIFE. You arranged for me to get an EKG prior to the chiropractic visit, and that set a series of events in motion that led to having a 100% blockage in my artery removed that same day. If I had delayed (or not followed through with your instructions) I might not be here today. I want to thank you for having that concern and wait until I get back into your office and thank you personally. Again, thanks.

Just before Christmas I stopped in your office, late in the day unannounced, and you were getting ready to leave. You delayed your departure to take care of the pain in my neck. Later, after you left, I learned that you were anxious to leave because your wife was not well.

Sir, that is patient care "above and beyond"! Many thanks for your special attention in light of the circumstances.

Blessings, E.B.

After years of pain, Dr. Berry and his staff gave me a new lease on life. When I leave their office after a treatment I have so much energy and are virtually pain free.

Thanks for changing my pain to painfree.

About two years ago I took a fifteen hour road trip, after which I experienced extreme pain in my back and right leg. After recieving treatment from various massage therapists and chiropractors for two years I experienced no real pain relief.

I was sharing my experiences with several of my friends one evening and one of my friends spoke of Dr. Berry who was successful in treating her husbands leg discomfort.

Dr. Berry introduced me to the ProAdjuster. I was given detailed information on how it works and why I was having pain. The information he has given me has become a path to my recovery.

Dr. Berry and his staff are kind, caring health professionals. They make it easy and comfortable to share the details of my pain. In a few short weeks my pain has subsided.
