If you are in Marietta and have been living with fibromyalgia, you may have tried many things and learned that pushing harder rarely works. Our nearby Smyrna office offers a calmer way to approach it: careful evaluation, gentle work, and a pace set with you.
Dr. James Wright earned his chiropractic degree at Life University in Marietta and later a diplomate in functional neurology through the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. He does not diagnose fibromyalgia or prescribe medicine, and he asks what your doctor has found.
Mayo Clinic notes that fibromyalgia pain can be linked to how nerves affect the brain and spinal cord's processing of pain signals, and that fatigue, poor sleep, and difficulty concentrating are common (April 2025). In practice that means we look beyond sore muscles to balance, eye movement, and autonomic regulation. Our chronic pain page outlines the approach.
We keep visits one-on-one, with a complimentary first consultation and private-pay care. You will not be rushed through an exam, and you can ask us to pause or change course at any point. If we think another kind of provider would suit you better, we say so.
According to NCCIH, evidence is low-to-moderate quality for acupuncture and massage lasting five weeks or longer for fibromyalgia pain, and unclear for mindfulness, biofeedback, and relaxation therapies (January 2023). The research is mixed. Here is what we do:
A complimentary first consultation about your pain, fatigue, sleep, and what you have tried
Review of your diagnosis and care team, since fibromyalgia is diagnosed by a physician
Neurological evaluation of balance, eye movements, autonomic regulation, and coordination
A gentle look at muscles, posture, and areas of sensitivity
Myofascial work, applied at a level you can tolerate
Graded exercises and movement that build slowly
Guidance on pacing, sleep, stress, and daily habits
Coordination with your rheumatologist or physician, with your permission
A short, easy routine you can repeat is often better than an ambitious plan you abandon. We help you find yours.
Sleep problems are a core part of fibromyalgia, per Mayo. We talk about habits and pacing, while leaving medical sleep questions to your doctor.
We watch for patterns in what leads to flares, so the plan can include built-in rest.
Mayo says fibromyalgia often occurs with POTS and headaches. See our page on POTS care in Marietta if that is part of your story, and our sciatica doctor page for Marietta for pain that travels down the leg.
Marietta is the Cobb County seat, with the Square and Glover Park near its heart. Smyrna is south via Cobb Parkway or South Cobb Drive. If sitting in the car is hard, tell us and we will plan around it. Kennesaw, East Cobb, Acworth, and Powder Springs are nearby. Life University, where Dr. Wright earned his degree, is a Marietta landmark.
1. Reach out: Call or book. Tell us anything that makes visits hard, such as sensitivity to touch or fatigue, so we can plan around it.
2. Your story: Dr. Wright reviews your pain, sleep, energy, past testing, and medicines.
3. Evaluation: Neurological testing and a gentle physical exam, paced to how you feel.
4. Findings: We explain what we found and where our care may fit alongside your doctor's.
5. Gradual care: Hands-on work and exercises start light and build slowly, with your feedback guiding the pace.
6. Review: We adjust, pace, and review together, so progress does not come at the cost of flares.
Touch sensitivity varies a lot. We start light, ask for feedback, and stop or modify whenever you say. Share anything you have been told by your doctor.
No. We complement medical care.
Yes, many people like to.
No. We are private-pay, and the first consultation is complimentary, so you can ask about costs and what a plan might look like before you decide.
The exam is adapted to your comfort. Tell us what positions are hard and we will work around them.
Tell us. That information shapes the next visit, and we may lighten the plan.
