Fibromyalgia Treated in Redlands
Fibromyalgia Treatment in Redlands, CA
Are you living with fibromyalgia? Have you tried just about everything without lasting relief? At Chiropractic Sports & Injury Center, Dr. Bruce Humphries, DC takes a different approach. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, his fibromyalgia care is aimed at what he believes is an underlying cause for many patients: disrupted sleep linked to sleep apnea.
Our Office Treats Fibromyalgia Differently
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue, and poor-quality sleep. Many patients also struggle with brain fog, headaches, and stiffness. Traditional treatments often focus on managing these symptoms one at a time.
Dr. Humphries spent more than three years working, studying, and testing different theories about what drives fibromyalgia, followed by more than five years developing and refining treatment protocols with his patients. Through this work, he concluded that sleep apnea plays a central role in fibromyalgia for many people. He is not alone in exploring this connection. Researchers have increasingly looked at the relationship between sleep disorders and fibromyalgia, and this has become a major focus of his practice.
Why Sleep Matters
Deep, restorative sleep is when your body repairs muscles and other tissues. When breathing is repeatedly interrupted during the night, as happens with sleep apnea, you may never reach the deep sleep your body needs. Over time, this can contribute to widespread pain, fatigue, and the other symptoms people with fibromyalgia know too well. Addressing sleep is a key part of Dr. Humphries’ approach.
