Can a chiropractor or osteopath help treat painful fibromyalgia symptoms ?

Chiropractic spinal adjustment (manipulation) is used to restore spinal movement and, as a result, improve function and decrease pain. Chiropractors may also massage and stretch spasmodic muscles that are shortened or in spasm. Osteopaths are medical doctors who specialize in treating pain in the joints and spine commonly experienced in fibromyalgia patients.
