Do you ever feel like your body is fighting against you—and no one really gets it? You wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep. Your muscles ache like you ran a marathon you don’t remember signing up for. And while everyone else is buzzing through their day, you're just trying to make it to lunchtime without crashing. That invisible weight, that never-ending fog, the pain that comes and goes without warning—it all leaves you feeling frustrated, isolated, and honestly... kind of hopeless.
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” or “you just have to manage it,” you’re not alone. Many people with fibromyalgia feel like they’re chasing relief that never comes. That’s exactly where Lee was before she found hope through Stow chiropractic care at Besso Clinic of Chiropractic.
“I had tried conventional, I had tried medical, I had tried a different chiropractor,” Lee said.
“But then I came to this chiropractor... and I'm mostly pain-free.”
For anyone living with fibromyalgia, those three words—mostly pain-free—can feel like a miracle.

The word “fibromyalgia” doesn’t capture what it’s really like.
It’s not just a dull ache. It’s the deep, burning pain in your muscles that makes getting dressed feel like a workout. It’s the mental exhaustion that turns grocery shopping into a mountain to climb. It’s watching life pass you by while you cancel plans, stay in bed, or push through with a fake smile—because you’re tired of explaining.
So many people living with fibromyalgia are told to “keep going” or “just manage it with meds.” But how do you manage when nothing seems to actually work? Lee had tried it all. Traditional medicine, chiropractic, other therapies—and still, the pain remained.
That’s why her story matters. Because her life did change. Not overnight, and not with a magic pill—but with consistent, gentle care tailored to the root of her problem.
“I can go about my life and do everything that I like to do,” she said.
“It hasn’t stopped me.”
One of the first things Lee noticed about her care at Besso Clinic of Chiropractic was how remarkably gentle it was.
“It’s painless. There’s no pain when you come in and get adjusted,” she shared.
“It’s a different kind of adjustment—and it works really well.”
At Besso Clinic of Chiropractic, we utilize a specialized technique known as Upper Cervical Chiropractic, which focuses on the top two bones in the neck—the atlas and axis. These bones play a vital role in supporting the head and protecting the brainstem, the critical control center where the brain and body communicate.
Due to their unique structure and mobility, the atlas and axis are particularly susceptible to misalignment, often resulting from past injuries. These injuries may include car accidents, falls, sports impacts, or even repetitive strain over time. What makes these misalignments so significant is that even a slight shift can interfere with the function of the brainstem and surrounding nerves, disrupting the body’s ability to regulate pain and maintain balance.
This disruption is especially relevant for individuals with conditions like fibromyalgia, where the nervous system is often overstimulated and hypersensitive. When nervous system function is compromised, pain signals can become exaggerated and persistent—contributing to the chronic discomfort, fatigue, and sensitivity many fibromyalgia patients face daily.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care is distinguished by its precision and gentleness. Each adjustment is customized using detailed imaging and analysis to determine the exact direction and degree of misalignment. Corrections are then made using a light, targeted touch, allowing the spine to return to its proper position in a natural way.
By restoring proper alignment to the upper cervical spine, we aim to reduce nervous system interference and support the body’s natural healing processes—helping patients like Lee regain comfort, stability, and quality of life.
