Q: Can chiropractic help with my symptoms? I suffer with every menstrual cycle. I get
bloated, cramping, severe mood swings and crankiness as well as low back pain.
A: Chiropractic has shown to be effective in
minimizing if not eliminating many of your types of symptoms related to
menstruation. Many women suffer with
similar symptoms and have been under the misunderstanding that these symptoms
are normal. These symptoms are
not normal.
Many pregnant patients with
a variety of these symptoms also seek chiropractic care. Pregnancy and menstruation cycle are two of
the most important health matters for women. Pregnancy and it’s recovery, pain
during the menstrual period (dysmennorrhea), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and
chronic pelvic pain are four of the most distressing conditions that are unique
to the female body that chiropractic can help you with.
Chiropractors educate women
in diet, nutrition, weight loss, methods for maintaining wellness and general
fitness. More importantly,
chiropractors use gentle procedures and have a caring interaction with the
concerns a woman has during these periods of their life.
Adjustments to specific
misaligned vertebra (subluxation) will allow for proper nerve supply to
improperly functioning tissue. A common
area of subluxation for women with menstrual problems is the lumbo-sacral and
sacroiliac regions. These areas send
direct nerve supply to the reproductive tissue and effect the glands, which
effect normal balance.
The correction of
subluxations is the specialty of chiropractors. A thorough history, complete examination and diagnostic testing
which may include X-rays can detect the cause of your problem.
My advice is not to hesitate
in getting an evaluation since so much success has been revealed for your
condition.
