Members shared mixed experiences with chiropractic care during fibromyalgia flares, with many noting that any physical manipulation during a flare can worsen inflammation and trigger more pain, while others find relief when spacing appointments one to two weeks apart. Several members described being unable to tolerate even gentle touch during flares, with one person spending two weeks in bed after an adjustment, while others suggested that excessive manipulation can cause flares and recommended rest days in between visits. A recurring theme was the highly individual nature of chiropractic response, with some members finding long-term benefit from monthly maintenance visits and alternative methods like KST, while others felt traditional adjustments ultimately made their condition worse.
