Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive issues, and sleep disorders.

If you're living with this condition, you may be surprised to learn that a potential link exists between fibromyalgia and the alignment of your upper cervical spine.

Dr. Lim and Dr. Krakos at the Atlas Spine Arts Center in Springfield, VA, shed light on this connection and the role of upper cervical chiropractic care in managing fibromyalgia symptoms.

Your upper cervical spine, composed of the first two vertebrae in your neck, plays a critical role in the body's overall functionality.

Misalignments in this region can disrupt nerve transmission and blood flow to the brain, possibly triggering fibromyalgia symptoms.
