A Natural Solution for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Sufferers

Chronic fatigue syndrome can feel like an uphill battle against exhaustion that doesn’t want to quit.  Regardless of the amount of rest, the fatigue is always present to some degree.  To make matters even more challenging, chronic fatigue syndrome is a very complex disorder that is yet to be well explained.  Many theories as to its origins exist, from viral infections to stress.

Care Options for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

For many people diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, relief options typically include an antidepressant and sleeping pills.  While this might help in the short term, there are many people looking for a more sustainable solution.

Your Spine and Nervous System Might Hold the Key

The uppermost vertebrae in the spine, the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), have the important job of protecting a critical part of our nervous system.  This is where the brainstem lies – at the junction between the brain and spinal cord.  A misalignment of these two vertebrae can have devastating effects on the nervous system’s ability to function properly.  Since the nervous system is the master control system for everything in the body, this can mean the inability to regulate hormones, the sleep-wake cycle, pain signals traveling between the brain and body, and many other effects.  This can be the root cause of many of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Our focus at Upper Cervical Hawaii is on locating and correcting misalignments of the upper vertebrae in the neck.  We understand how important normal alignment of these two bones is to the overall health of our patients.  Our methods are very gentle and precise with the aim of returning the upper cervical vertebrae back to their proper alignment.  Once this is accomplished, the body’s natural recuperative abilities are able to heal damaged nerves and tissues, allowing for a return to a better quality of life.
