What Is Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is contracted from the bite of an infected tick. The first symptom is usually a red rash, which may look like a bullseye. But not all cases of Lyme disease display rash-like symptoms. As the infection spreads to other parts of the body, you may experience the following symptoms:

  • ·         fever

  • ·         headache

  • ·         body aches

  • ·         stiff neck

  • ·         fatigue

Lyme disease can be hard to diagnose because many of its symptoms are like those of the flu and other diseases. There may not even be a noticeable tick bite. Your health care provider will look at your symptoms and medical history to help figure out whether you have Lyme disease. Unfortunately, even the lab tests may not always give a clear answer.

Chiropractic Care Helps Patients With Lyme Disease

Parkrose locals, if you have Lyme disease and are looking for relief, consider opting for chiropractic care at Halbert Chiropractic. Chiropractic care can improve the functioning of the central nervous system and has been shown to help with the symptoms of achiness, stiff neck, and headaches. It has also demonstrated effectiveness in supporting the immune system. Thus, chiropractic manipulations could help by triggering a positive response in your immune system, and also assist with some of the pain that has resulted from either Lyme disease or PTLDS (Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome).

Chiropractic Care For Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS)

There are lingering symptoms that many Lyme disease patients may experience after finishing their antibiotic treatments. It is debated whether the original infection continues or not, although this idea is becoming more and more accepted. This is referred to as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS).

Symptoms may include chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and achiness. While these symptoms vary for each individual, they can linger or gradually fade away. Chiropractic care can help to improve and restore a patient’s immune system. A chiropractor is able to use chiropractic manipulations to help trigger a positive response in the immune system and also help with the aches and pains that have been caused by both the Lyme disease and PTLDS. It is best to speak with your chiropractor about your current symptoms to determine if chiropractic care would be an option for you.
