Chronic fatigue syndrome is being called by a new name in the medical community— systematic exertion intolerance disease. It is believed that this is a more descriptive term for the condition, and a medical term means full acceptance of the syndrome by the medical community.
What is the main symptom that chronic fatigue sufferers deal with? Exertion-related fatigue tops the list. Even an ordinary amount of exertion to carry out daily chores can lead to such exhaustion that one may feel as if under the weather.
Why Activity Is Necessary for Those with Chronic Fatigue
Unfortunately, this leads many with chronic fatigue to avoid all activities as much as possible. Becoming sedentary can lead to chronic pain as arthritis and other joint problems may set in when one is not active enough.
Researchers have realized that gentle exercise is actually quite beneficial for those with chronic fatigue, although this may seem counterintuitive. In the study, patients did a 20-minute yoga routine each day, and experience less long-term pain as a result.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Helps with Chronic Fatigue
At Source Chiropractic and Wellness, our goal is to use upper cervical chiropractic care to attain a natural balance in the body. This is done through the precise identification and correction of misalignments of the C1 and C2 vertebrae.
If you have concerns about chiropractic in general, rest assured that upper cervical care is nothing like general chiropractic. There is no popping of twisting of the spine to force bones into place. Rather, adjustments are gentle and tailored to meet the needs of each patient.
To learn more about how this process can help a person to cope with the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, schedule a consultation today.
