If You Have Fibromyalgia, Your Problem Could be Corrected in Days with New Alternative Procedure
Wilmington, NC, July 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Will Tickel, a chiropractor in Wilmington, NC, doesn't want to offer Fibromyalgia sufferers false hope. However, he has developed a chiropractic treatment that has been successful in treating 93% percent of his Fibromyalgia patients in a matter of days.
"It turns out that Fibromyalgia is an upper cervical spinal stenosis, which is actually a choking off of the spinal cord structures, but not so much the spinal cord as the meninges; the coverings of the spinal cord itself," explains Dr. Tickel.
Although Fibromyalgia is defined as a chemical imbalance causing hypersensitivity in the nervous system that amplifies pain, the symptoms go far beyond just a chemical imbalance and pain, according to Dr. Tickel. "The misaligned vertebrae pulls on the meninges, which is not that flexible, which attaches to all the nerve roots all the way down the spine," he said. Since the nerves from the spine have to pass through the meninges, the pulling causes all the nerves to fire at one time. "Now these poor people have symptoms of everything that comes from these nerves, and so you will hear them say they have pain, they have numbness, they have tingling, they have burning, they're cold, they itch; those are just all the proprioceptive fibers that go to the brain from the different areas,” according to Dr. Tickel. And of course these people won’t be able to sleep due to their intense pain. This in turn causes their symptom to worse and ultimately leading to chronic fatigue.
Top researchers agree that the majority of problems can be attributed to some form of an accident in the person’s life, such as an auto accident, fall, physical abuse or even possibly surgery. They also agree that the problem is a malfunction of the nervous system.
As relief comes for patients, their dependency on painkillers, such as morphine, Oxycontin, and Vicodin, recedes. "Most of my patients are either off of all their meds, or 80% are off them within six weeks," Dr. Tickel says. "So they usually leave here without meds. Obviously, the reasons why people get off their medications is because they become healthy. Healthy people don’t need or rely on medications.” Dr. Tickel would prefer to be able to send his patients straight to a detoxification program from his office, but he said that it's important to note that he would never take patients off their medication. He prefers to let his patients discuss getting off medication with the doctor who prescribed it, saying, "I don't like to interfere with what other people are doing. The same way I don't let them interfere with my treatment."
“I came in because I could not sleep well at night and my concentration was poor. I was taking medications. My back ached daily, I was sluggish during the day and I was suffering from Fibromyalgia. Since I have been coming in, I sleep well at night and I am taking no medications. My back doesn’t ache and I feel refreshed all day now”, says Bonita Miller, a nutritionist and mother of 3.
