Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition of severe, chronic tiredness. It is well known in the medical world and affects 1-4 million people in the USA. Since the term was coined, considerable controversy has arisen. Some members of the medical community over trivialize the condition, and view the illness skeptically. Many doctors believe that the illness is psychological in nature, and thus patients receive little to no treatment for it.

A number of various names have also arisen in the medical community to accredit a specific cause for various symptomatology of this condition. For instance, Myalgic Encephalopathy is supposed to describe muscle aches and pains that people feel in CFS.

CFS affects four times as many women as men and occurs most often to people in their 40’s and 50’s. It is a debilitating chronic illness that is characterized by the following:

• Extreme Fatigue – brought on by low levels of or no exertion.

• Non-refreshing Sleep – disrupted and non-refreshing sleep that increases symptoms of fatigue and pain

• Cognitive Problems – characterized by brain fog, difficulty with concentration, attention and memory

• Pain – muscle, joint and all-body pain with headaches being quite common

Chiropractic care has been shown to reduce the severity of the symptoms described above. It has been shown in a few studies that chiropractic therapy can not only reduce these symptoms, but increase function and allow people to engage more actively in the activities of their daily living.
