About Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is one of the most under-investigated symptoms in medicine. It gets dismissed as 'stress' or 'getting older' when in fact it's almost always pointing at something specific: an underlying driver that's draining the body's energy faster than it can replenish.

The most common drivers we see are autonomic nervous system dysregulation, chronic low-grade inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and adrenal/HPA-axis fatigue. Often it's more than one of these working together. A patient with chronic fatigue and brain fog, anxiety, and digestive symptoms is a textbook presentation of nervous-system dysregulation.

Our team approaches fatigue as a systems-level symptom. Chiropractic care supports vagal tone and parasympathetic recovery. Red light therapy supports mitochondrial energy production. We also coordinate with your physician to rule out thyroid, anemia, sleep apnea, and other medical drivers that need primary care.

  • Common after long-COVID, mono, or other viral illness

When To Seek Medical Care

Talk to your doctor first if…

Severe new fatigue, especially with weight loss, fever, or other systemic symptoms — see your physician promptly. Chronic fatigue deserves a thorough workup including thyroid, complete blood count, vitamin D, B12, and ferritin.

What Neuropathy Patients Say

Real patients, verifiable on Google
I’m enjoying my treatments at roots , I wish I would have found them sooner . They have helped me so much . I have neuropathy and before I started going I could barely walk and was in so much pain. Now after a little over 4 weeks my pain is barely there and walking is so much better! Also getting adjustments from Dr Logan and it’s improved how I feel physically, and has helped my sleep and more. There are so many different areas they can help you in , give them a call I highly recommend them.

Everyone at Roots is super warm and inviting! There is a calming atmosphere and calming aroma the second you walk in. They are all about educating their patients! I have been going for about 3 months and I am feeling about 90% better! No more nerve pain as well as better sleep. Highly recommend!
