Seeking Natural Fibromyalgia Relief in Boise, Idaho? If you are one of the 12 million Americans with fibromyalgia, there is a natural way to seek pain relief, improved sleep, and headache relief.  Upper cervical chiropractic care. 

Upper cervical chiropractors have seen tremendous success in helping reduce symptoms for many fibromyalgia sufferers.  This is because upper cervical chiropractic focuses on a specific part of the spine—the C1 and C2 vertebrae located right at the base of the skull.

Because these vertebrae can affect brainstem function, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, and vertebral blood flow, they can have a powerful effect on everything from pain processing to overall function of the central nervous system.
