People often confuse chronic fatigue syndrome with fibromyalgia. While a number of the symptoms are the same, they are definitely two different health conditions. One thing that the two conditions have in common, besides just symptoms, is that both have been successfully treated with upper cervical chiropractic care.
What is chronic fatigue syndrome? The most notable symptom is extreme fatigue. This does not go away with rest. While people were once skeptical about this condition, the medical field recognizes it as a real and chronic problem.
You might liken the average person to a rechargeable battery. When all of a person’s energy is used up, they just need to rest. It’s like plugging in and recharging. It doesn’t work that way for someone with chronic fatigue. No amount of rest ever satisfies the drain completely. Plus, sleep is often hard to come by, and many resort to medications to help with sleep.

What Causes Chronic Fatigue?
Without being dogmatic about the subject, there is a lot of evidence that points toward brainstem injuries. The brainstem connects the brain and spinal cord. This is a key part of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is how the body communicates, and when something is wrong, it can affect how you feel from head to toe.
Upper cervical chiropractors work to relieve brainstem pressure. This is accomplished by gently manipulating the C1 and C2 vertebrae, fixing any misalignments. Many have found that such adjustments result in a lessening of symptoms and the ability to sleep through the night without medication for the first time in a long time.
