Conclusion: .
The take home message has to be: More research has to be done and the first step we have to take when doing this research is to find out if the person really has Fibromyalgia or not, this was obviously one big problem according to one of the research articles that I found. One more important factor when doing future research in this subject has to be to use a large group of patients. .
Introduction:.
The purpose of this paper was as I stated before was to find out if Chiropractic care can help patients that are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My sister in law was "somewhat diagnosed" with Fibromyalgia several years ago and I thought this might be a good opportunity to find out more about it and also to find out if Chiropractic care would benefit patients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
Although Fibromyalgia has been known by lots of different names over the last few centuries, the current name and description seem to be the most fitting. The following are some significant dates and names it has been known by over the course of its years: Guillaume de Baillou (late 16th century) described muscular pain as well as acute rheumatic fewer with the term rheumatism. .
Sir William Gowers (1904) suggested the use of the word fibrositis because he believed that inflammation was the important feature of muscular rheumatism. .
W. Telling (1911) used the name nodular fibromyositis to describe this condition. .
F. Albee (1927) called the condition myofascitis. .
G. Murray (1929) called it myofibrositis. .
E. Clayton (1930) described it as neuro-fibrositis. .
The list of different names for the condition Fibromyalgia goes on and on, and in 1950 did P. Ellman and D. Shaw claim that the condition was essentially a psychosomatic condition and they named it psychogenic rheumatism. They said "the patient aches in his limbs because he aches in his mind". It was not until 1981 that M. Yunus, A. Masi, J. Calabro, K. Miller, and S.
