The dysfunctions of the CNS include pain perception problems, neurochemical imbalances, decrease in pain threshold, and inconsistent serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical that regulates mood, memory, and pain perception. Ongoing research indicates that chiropractic care may alleviate fibromyalgia. Subjects noted significant reduction in pain intensity, lessened fatigue, and improved sleep quality.
“Dr. Gerard is a miracle worker! Having lived with major pain and limitations due to fibromyalgia [and many other ailments] for years I am now off meds for everything! I was at Lakewoods to prove chiropractic real or a fraud after having no luck with chiropractors in the past. I was on thirty medications and am down to one for thydroid. The education and exercise elements of Lakewoods practice are truly remarkable!” – Rita Kis.
