Should fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome be cared for using medication? This has been the focus of Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, researcher and medical doctor. He proves, through his diligent research, that medication is ineffective when trying to help either of these conditions.
His research describes the frustration felt by those trying to cope with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue when trying to find a doctor who understands and can help them. His goal is to reassure patients that fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are real conditions, and they are not going insane. He takes this information very personally, as he suffered from chronic fatigue when he was in medical school. He was forced to drop out for a year, eventually finding himself homeless and in severe pain. His life’s dedication now is to help others going through similar situations to his.

The SHINE Method Helps Fibromyalgia Sufferers
Dr. Teitelbaum has developed a formula referred to as SHINE to help those suffering from either of these conditions:
S: Sleep – get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night on a regular basis
H: Hormones – deficiencies can lead to symptoms of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
I: Infections – care for infections as soon as they occur
N: Nutritional supplements – these conditions deplete vital nutrients and a good supplement can help
E: Exercise – do as much mild exercise as you can and build on it from there
Following this method, according to one study, helped people see a 75% improvement in their symptoms in as little as 3 months’ time.
Fibromyalgia Helped Through Spinal Care
The suggestions mentioned above are great ideas to help one cope. However, addressing the underlying cause of fibromyalgia is better yet. A misalignment in the bones of the upper cervical spine may be placing undue pressure on the brainstem, leading to a miscommunication between the body and the brain. If the signals sent tell the brain there is pain when there is no pain, fibromyalgia may be diagnosed. Here at Hejny Chiropractic in Spring Lake Park, MN, we use a gentle method to help the bones move back into place, often leading to an improvement in or elimination of fibromyalgia.
