What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and often cognitive issues like memory lapses and concentration difficulties (“fibro fog”). While it affects an estimated 4 million adults in the U.S., the exact cause is still unknown. It’s believed to involve how the brain processes pain signals, amplifying even mild stimuli into severe discomfort.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent pain throughout the body
Chronic fatigue, even after sleep
Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
Headaches or migraines
Mood disorders (anxiety, depression)
Cognitive challenges (difficulty concentrating)
Why Choose New Life Chiropractic for Fibromyalgia?
At New Life Chiropractic, we understand that fibromyalgia affects your entire life—not just your body. That’s why we don’t just treat symptoms; we focus on addressing the root causes of pain, inflammation, and stress in the nervous system. Dr. Mike Geheren’s personalized approach to fibromyalgia care is grounded in evidence-based natural therapies that work together to ease pain, boost energy, improve sleep, and enhance quality of life.
Natural, Drug-Free Treatments for Fibromyalgia
1. Chiropractic Care for Nervous System Balance
Fibromyalgia often involves a hypersensitive nervous system. Misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can aggravate nerve dysfunction and amplify pain. Chiropractic adjustments gently correct spinal misalignments, restoring proper nerve communication and promoting whole-body healing.
Benefits of chiropractic care for fibromyalgia:
Reduces overall pain and tenderness
Improves mobility and flexibility
Decreases headaches and muscle spasms
Enhances sleep and relaxation
Supports the immune system
Dr. Geheren uses gentle techniques tailored to your comfort level, ensuring safe and effective relief without added strain.
2. Dry Needling to Relieve Trigger Points
Dry needling is a powerful, evidence-supported therapy that targets painful knots and muscle tension—known as myofascial trigger points. These tight bands of muscle can cause radiating pain and are common in fibromyalgia sufferers.
At New Life Chiropractic, our licensed providers use dry needling to:
Reduce muscle spasms and pain sensitivity
Increase circulation to problem areas
Restore normal muscle function
Support nervous system regulation
This therapy is minimally invasive, safe, and often brings immediate relief.
3. Massage Therapy to Soothe the Body and Mind
Therapeutic massage is an essential tool in fibromyalgia care. At New Life Chiropractic, we offer specialized massage therapy designed to gently reduce tension, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system.
Benefits of massage therapy include:
Improved sleep quality
Decreased muscle soreness and stiffness
Reduced stress hormones
Enhanced mental clarity and mood
We adjust our massage techniques to your comfort level—always listening to how your body responds.
4. Cupping Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that uses suction to lift the skin and fascia, increasing blood flow and releasing stagnant energy and toxins from the body. For fibromyalgia patients, cupping can provide noticeable relief from deep muscle tension and chronic soreness.
Cupping may help with:
Reducing inflammation and pain
Easing tension in fascia and connective tissues
Promoting lymphatic drainage
Stimulating relaxation and healing
This therapy pairs beautifully with massage and chiropractic care for a whole-body effect.
5. Nutritional Support and Lifestyle Coaching
At New Life Chiropractic, we understand that what you eat and how you live plays a big role in managing fibromyalgia. Dr. Geheren offers personalized nutrition counseling and lifestyle guidance to help you reduce inflammation, increase energy, and support your immune system naturally.
Key nutritional strategies for fibromyalgia:
Anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, omega-3s, and lean proteins
Reducing processed foods and sugar
Addressing possible nutrient deficiencies (like magnesium and vitamin D)
Supporting gut health and digestion
Our team will work with you to design a realistic plan that supports healing from the inside out.
A Comprehensive, Patient-Focused Approach
Fibromyalgia affects everyone differently—so we treat you, not just your diagnosis. Dr. Mike Geheren and the New Life Chiropractic team are committed to listening, understanding, and building a personalized plan that helps you feel your best.
