Fibromyalgia (FM or FMS) is a chronic syndrome that is characterized by the diffusion of pain in specific muscles, joints, and tissue. Sufferers of fibromyalgia typically experience widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, facial pain, and heightened sensitivity.
While actual cause of the disease remains unknown, doctors speculate a genetic predisposition, and recently found a possible for the symptomatic soft tissue pain to be linked to the muscles inability to properly metabolize energy.
The inability of the muscles to metabolize energy can be directly linked to a deficiency of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the universal energy currency of all living organisms. Studies suggest that jumpstarting the production of ATP may significantly help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia.

For sufferers of fibromyalgia, producing more ATP is essential and can be done safely and effectively through spinal adjustments and natural supplements.
Proper spinal adjustments to improve the function of the sympathetic nervous system, and increase blood flow, greatly assist the body in producing normal levels of ATP. Additionally, supplements can provide tangible benefits both in the production of ATP, as well as, providing soothing relief. One such supplement is malic acid which, according to the Journal of Rheumatology, is a nontoxic and organic acid that naturally occurs in the vegetable kingdom and is proven to increase the production of ATP.
Additionally, regular exercise, proper diet, massage therapy, and acupuncture can also greatly contribute to your body’s natural healing ability, and reducing the pain, fatigue, and overall discomfort associated with fibromyalgia.
