What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and How Can It Impact Your Life?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as CFS, is a condition that can affect anyone at any age though it is most common in women between the ages of forty to fifty. The condition causes a constant state of physical and mental fatigue. And, general fatigue can be remedied with rest and relaxation, whereas Chronic Fatigue Syndrome cannot. 

This condition can impact one’s day-to-day life as activities that require mental alertness and physical activity may be limited due to the fatigue that ensues. And, people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome tend to feel frustration over their limitations. Though there is a solution and treatment for this condition and that is the Blair Chiropractic Technique which is administered by specially trained practitioners. 

How Do You Know If You Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? 

Currently, there is no test specifically designed to diagnose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and some of the symptoms may mimic those of other health issues, thus it is difficult to diagnose. Though there are ways to assess whether you have CFS, such as your fatigue being so severe that it interferes with regular day-to-day activities, your state is made worse by physical and mental exertion, and you do not feel any better after getting rest.  

Some of the symptoms that are associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are severe fatigue, dizziness, joint and muscle pain, lymph node enlargement, headaches, and sore throat. Although there is no known cure for CFS, there are treatments that can help alleviate the symptoms such as upper cervical chiropractic care. 

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Can Be Affected By The Upper Cervical Spine

The upper cervical spine plays a key role in the overall function of the central nervous system, and when there is a disruption in the alignment of the upper cervical vertebrae, it impacts the central nervous system. In turn, this disruption leads to adverse reactions such as the inability to respond to triggers that cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, such as hormonal imbalances.

Treating CFS with The Blair Chiropractic Technique

The Blair Chiropractic Technique has redefined the realm of chiropractic care with its gentle, precise, and very effective treatment. This technique was developed in 1961 by Dr. William Blair and it is practiced nationwide by specially trained practitioners. These doctors implement the Blair Technique by first providing an assessment by use of advanced diagnostic tools. 

Once the upper cervical chiropractor knows and understands the condition of your upper cervical spine, they will then implement the gentle Blair Chiropractic technique in order to align your upper cervical spine, thus alleviating symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This alignment will allow your central nervous system to function more properly and thus it will be able to identify key triggers of CFS.
