Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is widely debated. It’s estimated 2-4 percent of the U.S population has fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is mainly characterized by symptoms including pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, depression, allergies and irritable bowel syndrome. 

Even though fibromyalgia affects several millions of people each year, the cause is unclear causing much controversy over the disorder. Many sufferers have done the rounds of doctors, specialists and tests with nothing to show for it. To add insult to injury they have been dismissed with “it’s all in your head”.

We are all familiar with schoolyard bullies, where the bigger and or older children pick on and bully smaller or younger children. In this respect the body is no different to the schoolyard scenario. There are certain areas of your body that bully other areas; these areas are typically joints that can negatively affect another causing pain or dysfunction. Ninety-nine percent of the time when people get knee, back or neck pain, it is caused by a joint above and or below the painful area. Thus often the cause of the pain is not the painful joint per se but rather a dysfunction in another joint, which may be as far from the site of pain as the foot is to the lower back.

When we walk or run our foot will make contact with the ground; thereafter the movement throughout the body is a reaction from the foot hitting the ground. Therefore, if a dysfunction in the foot reduces the absorption of shock and impact when the foot hits the ground, the knee, back and neck will undoubtedly be effected, potentially leading to wear and tear and pain and discomfort over time.

Food with increased fiber content absorbs a lot of water and it is not processed by the digestive enzymes. Hence your colon will have fiber waste that is bulky and soft. When the fiber waste in the colon gets mixed with other waste produced by foods that get processed by your digestive system, soft and bulky stools is produced. This will help in easy bowel movements and avoidance of constipation.

Are you or is anyone you know in pain? Has anyone looked at the biomechanics above or below the injured area? Potentially you shouldn’t have to be in pain at all
