Fatigue
Fatigue can be physical, mental or both. Everyone experiences fatigue at some point in their lives. Depending on the cause of fatigue, different measures can be employed to bring about a resolution. Sometimes something as simple as getting caught up on sleep or giving the body a rest from exercise is all that’s needed to resolve the problem. Other times fatigue is a symptom that is elusive and hard to resolve. The purpose of this information is to discuss a more elusive, prolonged type of fatigue called chronic fatigue.
Chronic fatigue is a self reported condition that persists for at least 6 months. The initial step for someone suffering from chronic fatigue is to visit a primary care physician and have tests performed to rule out anemia, thyroid disease, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, pregnancy and HIV. In addition the medical history is reviewed and the overall health of the body as well as other symptoms are reviewed to see if they correlate or form a possible link. The next step is to evaluate sleep habits as well as lifestyle choices including diet and exercise habits. Many things regarding health can not be controlled however lifestyle choices and attitude can.
Chiropractic treatment options for chronic fatigue involve developing a healthy lifestyle as well as checking the nervous system. Pressure, irritation and pain in the nervous system can disrupt the harmony of the body leading to alterations in the biochemistry and global function. The brain and the nerve receptors in the body are designed to work together in a constructive fashion to allow both parts to use input from the other to keep them functioning at a high level.
