Conditions - Fatigue
Patrick Massey MD, PhD ALT-MED Medical and Physical Therapy, Elk Grove Village Il and serving the Chicago area
After pain, fatigue is probably the most common medical complaint. Although not the most common complaint, it is the one that is most ignored. It is brushed off as simply “part of growing old”, or “get some rest”.
Fatigue is a very strong signal that something is wrong and the body is not able to function well. It may be as simple as a lack of refreshing sleep. However, it may also be imbalances in the endocrine system as a result of too much physical and mental stress. Stress and fatigue follow each other like the sun and the moon.
There are no specific tests for fatigue…but chronic fatigue is linked to heart disease, diabetes, depression and pain.
You do not have to spend the next 2-3 decades tired. It can be reversed. There are answers and solutions.

ALT-MED was the program I'd been looking for to address my back pain. While chiropractic helped to..it didn't seem oriented to really changing my condition. After the ALT-MED program...I've resumed or taken up walking exercises that would have previously resulted in my leg and foot going numb... Great idea! Thanks!
