Members shared mixed experiences with chiropractic care for fibromyalgia, with some finding temporary relief from soreness and tightness while others felt no lasting benefit or even worsened pain after adjustments. Several members described brief windows of relief lasting only minutes or days before symptoms returned, and one member cautioned that adjustments can sometimes worsen back problems if muscles are tight or in spasm. A recurring theme was the importance of exploring gentler options like massage or physical therapy first, and finding practitioners who use less forceful techniques like activators rather than hands-on manipulation.

I have been to 2 in my life....the first one is actually the one that diagnosed me with Fibro (sort of)...that was in 1996. I went to another and he helped for a while, but I think my adjustments jacked up my back.

I don't think his statement is true. Your uterus is separate from your back nerves and wouldn't have an affect. I can't see how he would make this connection.

I went to chiropractor in my early stages 2 twice a week it helped for a few days then back to normal pain. He claimed since I no longer a uterus my nerves couldn't speak to my back.
