 Fibromyalgia
is a condition that causes fatigue and pain throughout the
entire body. These pains are located in the muscles, tendons
and ligaments in many areas of the body. Fibromyalgia is medical
terminology which means the fibrous parts of the muscles hurt.
If your entire body hurts you can not live a normal life.
Everything you do is painful and life may seem like a nightmare.
Even though fibromyalgia is not a life threatening condition,
it drastically affects people’s ability to work, exercise,
do basic chores and necessities like bringing up a family
and just have a good, carefree life.
Previously, fibromyalgia has been known by other names such
as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism
and tension myalgias. This is a condition that affects 3 to
6 million people in the United States and 80 to 90% of these
people are women. This is an Idiopathic condition which means
that the medical community does not know what causes it.
The doctor that uses Applied
Kinesiology as a diagnostic tool for Holistic Health treatment
will not have any one cookbook recipe for a medical condition
such as Fibromyalgia. What this type of doctor will do is
find out where there is stress in the patient’s body.
Factors that cause fibromyalgia type symptoms are digestive
problems such as gastritis, ulcers, leaky gut syndrome and
Ileocecal Valve Syndrome.
Blood sugar imbalances and hormonal problems also contribute
to such problems such as fibromyalgia. Structural problems
involving the spine, TMJ, Cranial bones and other joints of
the body will also need to be corrected.
The body’s ability to cope with daily stress will also
have to be addressed. We have stress glands in our body known
as Adrenal Glands.
These glands help us cope with many different stresses such
as physical, chemical and emotional. There is a pathological
medical condition of the adrenals known as Addison’s
disease. This is when the adrenal glands are so exhausted
that they quit working. In fibromyalgia, the adrenal stress
is less severe than Addison’s disease, but severe enough
to cause functional problems. The Applied Kinesiology doctor
will have to address the above types of stresses and the ability
of the adrenal glands to work properly again.
There can be great success when these conditions are addressed
using Applied Kinesiology diagnosis and treatment but there
is a caveat. The patient will have to do the work because
the doctor does not get the patient well. The word doctor
actually means teacher. The doctor is there to assist the
patient to a point but only the patient can get themselves
well. The patient needs to follow a lifestyle that the doctor
will recommend and part of that is eating
right. If the patient eats foods that keep stressing the
body and causing problems, then the doctor’s work will
be in vain. The patient needs to take care of themselves to
support the changes the Applied Kinesiologist is attempting
to create. Usually when the patient knows they are being helped
and they are feeling better they will stick to the lifestyle
changes.
This article is written from our personal experiences with
my own patients and those of other doctors that have used
Applied Kinesiology. Fibromyalgia in our clinic seems to go
into remission quite well when I use methods as mentioned
above to restore proper function to the systems of the body.
There are many patients that report complete remission of
symptoms just as long as they take care of themselves and
monitor their lifestyles.
