Fibromyalgia and Upper Cervical Care
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the soft tissue and muscles. Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain disorders, with a worldwide prevalence of 3–6%.
Fibromyalgia seems to occur alongside other disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and irritable bowel syndrome.
