Fibromyalgia or FMS is a condition that is characterized by varying degrees of muscle aches and general body pain. The pain can range from mild stiffness to severe pain. The pain can be widespread affecting the muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons. Your health care professional may recommend varying treatments depending on the situation. Many fibromyalgia patients are turning to massage chairs to help relieve aches and pains.

More health care professionals are recognizing the benefit their patients can obtain from massage chairs. Their patients need to get frequent massages to help soothe and relieve their pain. Massage chairs provide a practical and economical alternative for massage therapy.

Some cases have pointed to a possible link between symptoms of fibromyalgia and the build up of lactic acid. Lactic acid may build up in certain people and this build up causes pain and stiffness. Reducing lactic acid with massage therapy can help relieve certain symptoms if received on a continuous basis.

One of the biggest challenges of getting massage therapy is convenience. Massage chairs are the perfect answer to this challenge. They provide unprecedented access when you need it, where you need and for how long you need it.

Patients with fibromyalgia experience greater tenderness and soreness. Sometimes massages can be uncomfortable at first. The muscles are stiff and may ache. Massage therapy starts to work on the muscles to increase flexibility. This can sometimes be somewhat painful until some amount of flexibility is restored.

Flexibility needs to be restored to the muscles and other soft tissues. They are contracted which make them ache and become inflexible. Stretching can be a bit painful to start as you are undoing some of the aching muscles. Like anything new, take your time and go slowly.

Interestingly, many massage chairs have warm up routines and other techniques to help your body warm up. You can use a massage chair prior to stretching to warm up the body and get the blood flowing in you. Another option is activating stretching of the lower body or the arms and shoulders.

Another treatment that helps reduce swelling and enhance blood circulation is the application of heat. Massage chairs have built in heating elements allowing you to select where you would like heat to be applied. You can select one or multiple areas of your body to suit your needs at any time.

Some of the warning signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia include stiffness and pain in the joints and muscles throughout the body. There are certain tests that can help to determine if the person in fact suffers from fibromyalgia. Some physical examinations push certain pressure points are check for associated pain in that area. Always check with your doctor as to your conditions and specific remedies for your situation.

Having stiffness and aches is no way to live your life. Get ongoing relief and help rebuild your flexibility with a massage chair. The various treatments available in a massage recliner can be a huge benefit for those in need. Just having a reliable masseuse that you can activate when you need it is some the lifesaver you need. A massage chair goes to work on you when you push the button.

Osteopathy (known as OMM osteopathic manipulative medicine in the U.S.),  stresses  the connection between all organ systems of the body, specifically focusing on the Musculoskeletal System, and its function throughout the entire body to unify the circulatory, nervous, endocrine, immune, and musculoskeletal systems to function one cohesive unit.  This, combined with good dietary and /or exercise prescription can enhance a fibromyalgia (FM) patient’s well being.  It is also said to be helpful in treating FM’s over-lapping conditions as well (i.e., CFS, CMP or MPS, IBS & others).  In most countries osteopathy uses a more holistic approach and the use of a range of manual and physical treatment interventions.

Early intervention by an osteopath allows probable sources of referred pain to be identified, making it possible for you to change to your lifestyle now to avoid the inevitable pain later on.  Osteopaths can offer prevention advice such as stretching exercises, lifting techniques, posture, breathing and stress reduction, so that individuals can maintain their own health.

OMM can be helpful in treating anterior knee pain, asthma, epicondylitis, tendonitis, impingement syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal disorders, thoracic outlet syndrome, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), headaches, back and neck pain, heel/ foot pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and vertigo. It can also be an effective complementary treatment for anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia (FM), osteoarthritis, shin splints, tennis elbow, repetitive strain injury, degenerative disc disease, sinusitis, herniated disc, chronic obstructive lung disease, pneumonia, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, Bell’s palsy, pregnancy and childbirth, and premenstrual syndrome.

Osteopaths are thoroughly educated about the placement of bones and muscles and how they perform in relation to each other.  Touch is used to locate any misalignments in your muscles, ligaments, or joints.  Techniques such as deep tissue massage and joint manipulation are then used to rectify misalignments in order to recover the patient’s function and mobility. Your body has a natural healing ability that is impaired when your musculoskeletal system is not functioning properly.  Once identified and alignment problems  are treated, your body will be able to heal itself more efficiently. FM patients need to make sure that the therapist has an understanding of fibromyalgia because each therapy is specifically designed for the individual.  Certain therapies may aggravate your symptoms where the same therapy may be tolerable or beneficial for someone else.

Poor posture can be a key element in FM and CMP symptoms.  Your osteopath will show you how to improve your posture in order to avoid putting as much strain on your muscles and joints as possible.  If you have bad posture, it can generate new trigger points in CMP patients and they are easily irritated once they are developed.  The trigger point needs to be released and stopped from coming back.

Joint manipulation can relieve pressure on nerve endings, release muscle tension and loosen up the joints for ease of movement. The key to joint manipulation is that you (the patient) relax as much as possible.  The more tense you are, the less likely it is that your joints can be manipulated.

Osteopathy treatment may also include therapies such as acupuncture, laser therapy, and relaxation training.

Osteopathy is a university course, which includes a degree and masters qualification.  An osteopath is licensed to prescribe medication and also perform surgery. You can find an osteopath in local hospitals, private practices, community health clinics, academic medical centers, and military hospitals.  Basically, anywhere one would expect to find a doctor.

Talk to your primary physician about any therapy you might be considering.  Your doctor can help you decide what therapies/treatment options are best for you.

More health care professionals are recognizing the benefit their patients can obtain from massage chairs. Their patients need to get frequent massages to help soothe and relieve their pain. Massage chairs provide a practical and economical alternative for massage therapy.

Some health professionals believe that the pain that fibromyalgia induces comes from an excess of lactic acid. Massage therapy has been found to significantly release the build up of this lactic acid. But to reduce the build up of lactic acid, massage therapy must be obtained on a continuous basis.

Getting periodic or frequent massages is hard for sufferers of fibromyalgia. This is where technology can be a blessing. Massage chairs provide a convenient and effective means to receive certain types of massage treatments.

Many patients with fibromyalgia can feel more tender and sore. The muscles become stiff and inflexible. Massage seeks to stretch and penetrate to help restore flexibility. Those with more tenderness may feel some soreness when getting the first couple of massages.

A person suffering from FMS should begin with mild stretching exercises to get warmed up. These stretches should be slow and deliberate. Do not bounce or vigorously stretch your muscles. The goal is to keep the muscle loose and improve the range of motion of the muscles and the joints.

Stretching and then performing other warm up for your body is helpful. Massage chairs are great for warming up or warming down. Choose from a multitude of programs. Some massage chairs have programs and variants of those programs that number in the 400 range. The ability to target specific relief with certain massage techniques is a wonderful option.

Some massage chairs incorporate heating elements to help reduce swelling. You can activate the heat in a given area of the chair. There are also models that have traction or stretching systems. These systems can stretch the lower body and now there are some that can stretch the arms and shoulders. These can be an effective method of warming up prior to activity.

Some of the warning signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia include stiffness and pain in the joints and muscles throughout the body.

Clinical magnetic therapy also;

Circulation is improved

Encourages deep, long and restful sleep

Eliminates toxins from your tissues

You will have an abundance of energy

Strengthens your immune system

How? Magnetic therapy causes two actions in the body; an increase in blood flow and a reduction in inflammation. These two actions have a knock on effect across the body which results in these five additional benefits:

1. As blood flow improves the circulation in the body also improves and works more efficiently. This means the organs, muscles, tissues and cells have a rich and fresh supply of oxygen and nutrients which are essential for cell renewal and healing.

2. In the presence of static magnetic fields the body is able to balance hormone levels within the body. These hormone levels affect many of the body’s functions such as sleep, pain, mood, and sugar levels. The following hormones have all proven to be regulated and return to normal levels with magnetic therapy: melatonin, endorphins, serotonin and insulin. This means insomnia, pain, depression and diabetes can all be effectively treated with magnetic therapy.

3. Thirdly, the magnetic field aids the body in realigning the positive and negative ions which are present in every single cell. Your cells are like little batteries each with a positive and negative end. If you put batteries in your radio the wrong way round it won’t work. The same principal applies to your cells.

Magnets push the cells back into perfect alignment so that any excess fluid and toxins are forced out of the tissues and flushed out of the body when you go to the toilet. You can “wee” up to 2 litres of unwanted, excess, toxin laden fluid once you start using clinical magnetic therapy

4. As surplus fluid and toxins are passed out of the body as much as 2 litres of waste fluid can be removed from the circulatory system. As the heart does not have to pump such a large volume of circulatory fluid around the body it does not have to work so hard. Blood pressure naturally reduces as does the heart rate. Those who suffer with high blood pressure find that it returns to normal levels and many have medication reduced or stopped altogether. When the heart’s workload is reduced you will have more energy and a tremendous sense of wellbeing.

5. Lastly, the accumulative result of more oxygen, more nutrients, balanced hormones and a rested heart results in a strengthened immune system. You will be less likely to catch “bugs” and viruses. You will be able to fight infections better and ward off coughs and colds. Your immune system protects your body from attack and harm. To protect your body your immune system must be strong and healthy.

Magnets have been around for as far back in time as 2500-3000 years BC. The first documentation of this came from Asia Minor, specifically an expanse of land referred to as Magnesia. The population of this place recognised that the earth would attract metal items to it, they then called it Magnetite. What they didn’t realise is that this was because the land was enhanced with large amounts of iron oxide.

Another story is told of a young boy, who lived 2500 years BC, called Magnes- a shepherd on Mount Ida. One day he was tending his sheep whilst wearing sandals which contained iron rivets in the sole. He found it hard to walk up the mountain, as his feet felt heavy and stuck to the rock face.

It was discovered that the shepherd boy’s mountain contained a mineral with magnetic properties named Lodestone. Through out the ages its name has changed to Magnes after the boy who revealed its magnetic properties and now more commonly know as magnet.

The ancient Egyptian heroin Cleopatra could possibly be the first famous person to use the benefits of magnets. A Lodestone was used in her bed to refresh her skin and protect her looks. The knowledge of these benefits were shared with the Greeks and philosophers Plato and Aristotle wrote if its medicinal use since 2500 BC.

In the east, Chinese medical treatments have included magnets since 2000 BC. Reflexology and acupuncture are often used in conjunction with the healing properties of the magnets. With many ailments, magnets are still the first step even today.

3,500 years after they were first discovered, magnets have gained popularity in Europe and the USA. In the 15th century a Swiss physician Paracelsus recognised the therapeutic powers of magnets. He wrote medical papers on the influence of magnets on the inflammatory processes within the body.

Further to this, nearly a century later, a doctor here in the UK named William Gilbert, led a new scientific study into magnetism and electricity. Dr William Gilbert was actually one of the leading figures, writing one of the first books on this subject titled, “De Magnet” and was also the personal doctor to the first Queen Elizabeth and treated her with magnets.

Michael Faraday, also known as the founder of Biomagnetics made extensive discoveries in magnetic healing during the 18th century. His work is still used as a framework for modern day magnetic treatments. Dr Mesmer (the father of hypnotism) and Dr Samuel Hahnemann (the father of homoeopathy) also contributed to his remarkable work.

20th century pioneers include Dr Kreft a German doctor who in 1905 studied the healing effects of magnets on rheumatic disease, sciatica and neuralgia. 1926 revealed Dr Criles work on the impact of magnets on cancer cells and this was followed 10 years later in 1936 with Albert Davis carrying out tests on the effects of the north and south poles of a magnet.

The amount of research done into magnetic treatments over the last fifteen years has been hugely increased. More than 57 studies have been completed in America on the topic of disease and magnets. Here are a handful of the most up to date studies;

1990 – University of Hawaii recorded the effects of magnetic therapy on the condition osteoarthritis.

1992- Stiller et al a randomised double blind trial of wound healing in venous leg wounds.

1999- New York Medical College took patients with diabetes and did tests using magnetic insoles.

2001- University of Virginia tested mattress covers with magnets on sufferers of Fibromyalgia.

2004- University of Exeter and Plymouth used magnetic bracelets and studied their effects on osteoarthritis patients.

Chiropractic health dates back to the historical records. It is believed that chiropractic treatment started in the Hippocrates period. , it’s not a present day concept. There’s a generally held ideology by chiropractors the nervous system is probably going to notice the effects of manipulating the spine. Backbone manipulation involves the biochemical and structural derangement of the spine. The assumption that the nervous system will have a direct affect by the manipulation of backbone, is based upon the incontrovertible fact that, a close relationship does exists between our spine and the central nervous system. These are actually in accordance with anatomic studies.

Based totally on the foregoing, an individual’s structural integrity can be dictated and revived using chiropractic treatment. Thus there is pressure reduction on the smoothly formed neurological tissues. Chiropractic health is wore interested in spine manipulation that brings forth relief and alleviates the existent condition, thereby improving ones health condition. Note that the employment of drugs or surgical operation isn’t part of the treatment modes employed by a chiropractic doctor. But if the chiropractor dictates one or two treatment methods, he can suggest that the patient should visit another practitioner.

The systems concerned In Chiropractic Treatment

Examination of the patient precedes any chiropractic treatment. The chiropractor will first examine the patient who is required to supply the chiropractor with individual important facts such as: Past medical therapy or care such as allopathic, osteopathic and others, food intake and nutritional facts. History relating to occupational past, Psycho / social history, past life in family circles and so on.

The details supplied thereof will be a steering factor to the chiropractor for properly diagnosing of the disorder and for closing in to the exact area where the ailment persists. Also a physical exam that might involve lab test and x-ray may be performed after identification and clinical finding by the chiropractor.

there are various techniques employed in chiropractic health practice to spot the spine’s segments that need backbone manipulation. The common method used by chiropractors is the static and motion palpation ; for dictating fixated or hyper mobile segments of the backbone. To locate subluxations, the employment of X-ray is involved.

Another chiropractic health method uses a device to point out the skin temperature in the Para spinal region. This method is targeted on dictating the segments of the backbone that has a very conspicuous temperature variance; hence backbone manipulation is applied to such segments.

Another approach to chiropractic treatment is focused on the structure balancing from the feet upward; this is a bio-mechanical approach that treats the bipedal structure in its wholeness. Sometimes the weak links in the kinetic chain, which is quite a distance from the segments of complaints, is identified ; the chiropractic doctor treats the given area. In this condition, the treatment might involve muscular balancing ( reinforcing of muscles that are under-active ) and articular manipulation. The pelvis might also undergo stabilization, which is determined by radio-graphic means.

Chiropractic health practice has been of huge help for relief on the spinal area. It’s a therapy that fully focuses on the spine, to dictate Problems on the spinal regions and thus treatment is proffered using chiropractic drugs.
