Fibromyalgia pain - Are there any alternatives?

Posted in Fibromyalgia on Aug 8, 2025

Most people with acute fibromyalgia pain turn to physicians for help. While some explore chiropractic care and other alternative treatments, many still rely on pain medications to get through their day. Unfortunately, these medications can come with long-term side effects, leading patients to seek healthier, more sustainable solutions.

One promising natural approach is Blair Upper Cervical Care—a specialized chiropractic method that has helped many fibromyalgia sufferers manage their pain without the constant pill-taking cycle.

Analgesics, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, and other common pain medications can be effective in the short term. However, prolonged use can cause a variety of unwanted side effects and, in some cases, dependency. This creates a frustrating loop for patients: pain → pills → temporary relief → more pills.

Healthcare professionals and researchers have been working to help patients reduce their reliance on drugs, focusing on non-pharmaceutical solutions for pain management.

A Mayo Clinic study followed 159 fibromyalgia patients who participated in a hospital-based drug withdrawal program. Over just two weeks, patients reduced their use of opioid analgesics, NSAIDs, benzodiazepines, and muscle relaxants.

The results were impressive—not only did patients take fewer medications, but they also experienced significant improvements in both their physical and mental well-being.

Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care does not involve prescribing medication. Instead, it begins with a thorough neurological examination to detect any interference in the spinal cord, particularly in the upper cervical spine (the top of the neck).

Using precise imaging technology such as cone beam CT scans or digital X-rays, the chiropractor identifies exactly how the vertebrae have shifted out of alignment.

The correction is then made gently—without twisting, popping, or pulling—repositioning the vertebrae so the central nervous system can function at its best.

A Holistic Approach to Fibromyalgia Relief

Treatment plans often include gentle adjustments to improve posture, restore motion, and reduce spinal distortions. At the same time, practitioners encourage healthy lifestyle choices to support the body’s healing process.

While research on Blair Upper Cervical Care is still growing, many patients report reduced pain, improved mobility, and better overall quality of life—without the side effects of long-term medication use.

Why It’s Worth Considering

If you or a loved one struggles with fibromyalgia or another chronic pain condition, Blair Upper Cervical Care may provide a safe, natural path toward relief.

Healing takes time, but by removing the blocks that interfere with normal body function, this approach allows your body to work the way it’s designed to—without unnecessary interference.
