If you have followed my blog, or read my other posts on fibromyalgia, you know I believe that a disturbance in normal communication between the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland axis) plays a very significant role in the symptoms of fibromyalgia. I’ve referenced several other studies that demonstrate the disruption in the HPA axis, and how it wreaks havoc on the body. Research in 2005, shows a direct relationship in widespread pain and HPA axis function, in people with fibromyalgia.1 If you are being treated for fibromyalgia, and your doctor does not recognize the importance of the HPA axis in your symptoms, you should be asking more questions to make sure you are in an office that understands fibromyalgia. Everything on this site is evidence based, and comes directly from research and clinical experience.
In our clinic we recognize the role of the HPA axis on the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and your treatment is designed accordingly. If you have fibromyalgia, or know someone who does, please contact our office for a complimentary phone consultation, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Shook (828) 324-0800. We can also be reached by email at drshook@alliancechiropracticcenter.com.
