What Causes Fibromyalgia? with Dr. Martin Rutherford - Power Health Talk

http://powerhealthtalk.com What Causes Fibromyalgia? Dr. Rutherford: I'm Dr. Martin Rutherford. I am a board-certified chiropractic physician, and I am a certified functional medicine practitioner. This is... Dr. G: I am a chiropractor as well as a board-certified chiropractic neurologist. Dr Rutherford: The largest part of our practice is treating chronic pain, and within the framework of that we treat a lot of fibromyalgia. A lot of fibromyalgia. And I have fibromyalgia. A lot of people want to know what's the cause. People ask us all the time, "What's the cause of fibromyalgia?" So I think the most important thing we could do in a couple of minutes here is just delineate the definition between cause and trigger. And I would say that there is a distinct difference. Most of our fibromyalgia patients, Dr. Gates will elaborate on this, will have kind of as the cause underlying problems that are set off by triggers. And this is very important, because once the trigger is there, with the possible exception of stress, it's usually gone. And we're still trying to treat the trigger when the cause is sitting in front of us and needs to be figured out. Triggers. My trigger was pneumonia. I had an overwhelming pneumonia infection that didn't get taken care of very well, because of me, and it morphed into fibromyalgia. It affected my immune system. It affected my stress mechanisms. Overwhelming infections, stress is a big one. Stress can be a trigger and it can perpetuate it. Traumas, for example motor vehicle accident. We are chiropractic physicians, we have done musculoskeletal work over the years. I've had scores of patients that had a motor vehicle accident and the next thing, everything in their body hurt, their life fell apart, fibromyalgia. Surgeries, surgeries. Very frequently, the person goes in, they have a surgery, the next thing they know every part of their body hurts, they start getting pain everywhere, they start getting chronic fatigue, their hair starts falling out, et cetera. How could that be? How could they get this flu-like symptom all over the place? And I think the last thing, and the biggest one of what we see consistently, is pregnancy. Either getting pregnant and during the last trimester of pregnancy, or delivering the child. I delivered my child, the next thing I know I put on a bunch of weight, my hair started falling out, I was totally lethargic, chronically fatigued, et cetera. Those are the big triggers that I hear all the time. Absolutely. And those triggers set off, probably what I would define as the cause of this, of fibromyalgia. And I think maybe, you want to do the? Dr. Gates: Go into the causes? Yeah. Absolutely. So, like we talked about in one of the other videos, let's step back and know that fibromyalgia is basically a problem where the brain keeps focusing on the pain. The pain has become learned in the brain. And that happens due to a variety of mechanisms, there's probably twenty-five things long. However we know that chronic stress, or stress that has become learned, those stress hormones actually make your brain and spinal cord learn pain. And it can be mental stress or it can be physical stress. And chemical stress. It can be a bad gut that's out there forever, it can be your worries and fears about whether you have cancer or whether you're over, it can be a lot of things. It's not just emotional, continued emotional stress, although that can be part of it.    • Is Fibromyalgia Real? | Dr. Martin Rutherf...   Continued at http://powerhealthtalk.com/what-cause... lw..    • Signs of Fibromyalgia With Dr. Martin Ruth...
