Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 1.5 million people in the UK. This chronic condition can cause widespread pain, fatigue, “brain fog,” and limited mobility due to muscle tightness. While there is currently no cure, the right combination of care can help you manage symptoms, improve function, and live more comfortably.
At Align Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we offer a multidisciplinary approach that includes chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage, reflexology, and personalised rehabilitation plans.
How Chiropractic Helps Fibromyalgia
Chiropractic treatment aims to restore optimal alignment and movement in the spine and joints, helping the nervous system communicate more efficiently throughout the body.
For people with fibromyalgia, this can:
- Reduce faulty pain signalling to the brain
- Improve movement and flexibility
- Relieve stiffness and tension in muscles and joints
Gentle adjustments are tailored to each individual, ensuring maximum comfort and safety even for those with heightened pain sensitivity.
Physiotherapy for Fibromyalgia
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing fibromyalgia symptoms by:
- Improving muscle strength and endurance
- Restoring joint mobility and flexibility
- Reducing pain through targeted movement and exercise therapy
- Helping patients pace activity safely, avoiding overexertion
Our physiotherapists work one-to-one to design individualised exercise programs that take into account your energy levels, mobility, and daily challenges, supporting better function and confidence in movement.
Holistic Therapies
Complementary approaches can also provide meaningful relief. At Align, we integrate therapies such as:
- Massage therapy, to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation
- Reflexology, which interacts with the central nervous system to help override pain signals
These therapies are especially useful in calming the nervous system, reducing stress, and alleviating the fatigue and discomfort often associated with fibromyalgia.
