Fibromyalgia, what is it & can chiropractic care help?

             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. .
