An estimated 4 million adults in the U.S. have fibromyalgia, a severely debilitating condition identified by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, memory and attention difficulties, among other symptoms.   It negatively affects the quality of life as the symptoms include chronic widespread pain, severe headaches, and muscle cramps. Often people suffering from fibromyalgia experience loss of REM sleep, have anxiety, depression, obesity and addictions to drugs and alcohol which may lead to even more health problems like liver failure, kidney stones, ovarian cysts etc. It is better to start the fibromyalgia treatments for pain as early as possible in order to have better results and to choose natural methods in order to decrease the intake of medications.

The root causes of fibromyalgia is attributed to a dysfunction of nerve signals, hormones, or spinal fluid pressure.  A study by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers – collaborating with a team at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden – has documented for the first time widespread inflammation in the brains of patients with fibromyalgia. Their report has been published online in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.  Finding objective neurochemical changes in the brains of patients with fibromyalgia should help reduce the persistent stigma that many patients face, often being told their symptoms are imaginary and there’s nothing really wrong with them.

A natural and non-invasive fibromyalgia treatment for pain is Craniosacral therapy. Craniosacral therapy improves the quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia, reducing their perception of pain and fatigue and improving their night rest and mood, reducing anxiety levels, and potentially improving the depressive state.  Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive treatment focusing on the link between the cranium (or head), and sacrum (the bone at the base of your spine) addressing abnormalities of fluid along with membranes connected to both the cranium and sacrum. Because Craniosacral Therapy centers on all the structures involved with fibromyalgia (the head, spine, muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and nerves – Craniosacral Therapy is well founded and positioned to effectively treat fibromyalgia.

Importance of the Nervous System and Fibromyalgia

The nervous system controls everything in and out of your body. In Fibromyalgia, there are detrimental physiological restrictions your body needs to deal with and overcome.

Fibromyalgia is due to a disruption of the Central Nervous System caused by unresolved, unprocessed stored emotions. The restrictive onset and mechanism of impairment in physiology forms as a result of interaction, reaction, response, and lack of full processing of certain kinds of past emotions and traumas.

To your nervous system, trauma and emotions carry a certain energetic charge which gets stuck in the body and causes a disruption in the function of your nervous system and spinal subluxations that eventually leads to Fibromyalgia and other conditions.

Let Dr. Kaminsky work with you in achieving a release from your body this condition called fibromyalgia. Schedule your sessions and return your uncompromised life.

Alex was born in March 1972. At the age of 7 he started to experience frequent headaches with all the conventional symptoms of a Migraine headache. His particular headache resulted in him experiencing auras, nausea and sensitivity to light with no particular trigger to the onset of the migraine.

After years of treatments, therapies and medications, his headaches were no better and Alex continued to experience them all throughout childhood and into young adulthood. Some years the headaches would come monthly, some years every two to three months and some years weekly. His headaches were incurable, there was nothing that could alleviate the symptoms and head pain. Until he experienced cranial manual therapy, which resulted in the complete eradication of his life-long Migraine Headaches.

At the age of 16 Alex noticed a mild deformity in the right side of his ribs, a slightly lower right shoulder and the experience of constant lower back pain. Although mild, a diagnosis of Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis had been labeled.

At the age of 18 he was involved in a serious car accident that exacerbated his lower back pain. Throughout the years Alex had tried a multitude of conventional treatments but continued to suffer on and off with lower back pain, even throughout Chiropractic school and beyond.

In 2015 and fifteen+ years out of Chiropractic school, Dr. Kaminsky participated in his first and life changing Craniosacral Therapy seminar and he was fascinated, intrigued and hooked. It all made sense, he was immediately astute to its methods and since that first seminar, and as a result of trading sessions of Craniosacral Therapy with his colleagues, his back pain subsided and till this day has never returned.

Dr. Kaminsky decided to enhance his skill-set to better serve his patients. He began reaching out to other craniosacral therapists, cranial osteopaths, and many types of leading practitioners from various fields for advise and consultations He also enrolled in Upledger continuing education seminars with a focus on mostly hands-on manual and alternative therapies.

And, as he gained knowledge with his own health issues, he has learned to help more and more patients achieve great health results.

Dr. Alex Kaminsky is headache free and low back pain free, and has committed himself to a life of learning, teaching and treating patients. His emphasis is on the patient’s stored patterns of the body and each individual healthcare needs.
