Fibromyalgia is a complex condition. The nature of fibromyalgia is widespread chronic pain and fatigue that affects sufferers’ quality of life. They may experience all sorts of issues like sleep disorders, morning stiffness, poor concentration, and occasionally mild-to-severe mental symptoms such as anxiety or depression. (1) So if nutrition and supplementation offer beneficial hope of relief, especially vitamin D, Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers shares this evidence-based insight with our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients who have fibromyalgia.

Recently, researchers compared women with fibromyalgia to those without. They found that other than iron intake, women with fibromyalgia are found to consume less vitamins A, C, B12, D and E and minerals folate, selenium, zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium. (Interestingly, vitamin E intake doesn’t affect fibromyalgia patients’ quality of life reporting while the amount of protein intake does affect pain reporting.) (2) Low levels of vitamin D have been related to fibromyalgia patients. (3) Further, vitamin D is showing itself beneficial in reducing fibromyalgia patients’ pain perception. Raising califediol (the one of three vitamin D forms that is measured in the blood to check vitamin D levels) is positive, economical, and low in side effects. (1) So what approaches seem to help fibromyalgia? One report says a combination of moderate physical exercise and supplementation. (2) Another review of the literature about fibromyalgia gives varying levels of evidence for benefits from these approaches: cognitive behavioral therapy, massage, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, muscle strengthening, diet, and body/movement awareness among others. (4) So what can a Baton Rouge fibromyalgia patient do? Check out the Baton Rouge chiropractic approach at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers that incorporates many of these.
