Research Shows: Increased Rate Of Fibromyalgia Following Head And Neck Trauma

This study showed that adults with head and neck injuries are 13 times more likely to develop fibromyalgia.1 Other studies have also shown that trauma is direct related to the development of fibromyalgia.2,3 As I have said in previous posts, STRESS (chemical, physical and emotional) is the cause of fibromyalgia, and the changes in your body, are the symptoms of these stressors.  We take a unique approach, that has the potential to make a significant change in people with fibromyalgia.
