Fibromyalgia Case Study: These Treatments and Supplements Significantly Helped…

Forsyth County, Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor and Chronic Pain-Fibromyalgia Doctor Comments:

Tender_points_fibromyalgiaI’ve been treating chronic pain and Fibromyalgia for the past 17 years here at South Forsyth Chiropractic in the Alpharetta-Cumming area with great success. 

I have to treat each chronic pain and Fibromyalgia case individually because some cases are mild and some are severe. 

Some cases respond after just a few treatments and some take quite a while.  I found a great case study from Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia, Burton Goldberg, 1998… about a specific protocol for treating the Fibromyalgia patient.  This doctor spells it out in this case study below.

Although this patient in this case study was  treated over an entire year, some cases respond in just a few treatments.  Either way, the key is to try new things… different things… because otherwise, you’ll always get the same result.

Here’s the case study:

Ellen, 54, suffered from chronic low back pain, muscle soreness, general achiness, fatigue, and depression.  She endured years of clinical testing and various drug treatments without getting a diagnosis or relief of her symptoms.  Frustrated by her lack of progress with conventional doctors, Ellen sought help from Mary Osen, D.C., a chiropractor based in Huntington, New York. 

Dr. Olsen identified Ellen’s condition as fibromyalgia by testing the 18 trigger points associated with that disorder.  Eleven of these points must be sore to the touch to qualify as fibromyalgia, according to the conventional medical definition. 

In Ellen’s case, 16 of the sites were tender.  Dr. Olsen prescribed a three-part treatment program for Ellen. 

First, she used acupressure on Ellen’s trigger points, applying pressure in eight-second intervals and repeating the treatment three times at each site.  The trigger points in fibromyalgia are actually muscles in spasm and those near the spine often pull it out of alignment.   

Dr. Olsen administers acupressure to massage the trigger point, chiropractic to realign the spine, and applied kinesiology to prevent the trigger point from injuring the spine again. 

Ellen saw Dr. Olsen three times a week until her spine began to respond to treatment, and monthly thereafter. 

Second, Dr. Olsen prescribed vitamin supplements specifically tailored to fibromyalgia.   This included vitamin B1 (25 mg), vitamin B6 (75 mg), manganese (2.5 mg), and malic acid (300 mg) two to eight times daily as needed. 

Third, Ellen began a moderate exercise program, performing a 10-15 minute stretching routine five days a week and walking for 20 minutes three times weekly.  The exercise would help raise her serotonin and, in turn, reduce fatigue. 

After one year of treatment, Ellen reported that her low back pain was gone, her muscle aches had subsided, and her energy level had increased considerably.  

Later she began exercising more, her mood increased and she no longer suffers from depression. 

My take:  The treatments outlined in this case study is perfect… even for some of the severe cases of chronic pain and Fibromyalgia.  If you can find a chiropractor who can duplicate this treatment plan… you should do great and respond quickly.
