Default Fibromyalgia and chiropractors

Anyone with fibro see a chiropractor? I've had several people suggest seeing one but I am afraid it will hurt. When someone touches a trigger point it is painful so why wouldn’t the chiropractor hurt me when he is adjusting me?

I can't afford the co-pay so I won't be going any time soon but I was wondering if others were getting any relief from chiropractic care.

Hi. I have fibro, and I go to an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. I have a few episodes a year, mostly with change of season, or if I have done too much. I am much, much better than I was. It was a condition, secondary to osteo arthritis. Still have a problem now and then with the fatigue.

I also find massage therapy to work for me. Hurts like heck while he is doing it, but after a couple of days, it feels great.
