Painless Period, Please!

Women's health issues image.

Why do some women experience severe pain with their monthly periods, while others do not even experience a twinge? Painful periods, or dysmenorrhea, may have several causes, including the following:

  • chemical imbalance
  • infection
  • tumors
  • pelvic inflammatory disease
  • fibroids in the uterus
  • nerve compromise

Certain women seem more prone than others to this condition, in part due to lifestyle choices, such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Other factors that play a part include being overweight and the onset of their period prior to age 11.

A clinical pilot study conducted at the National College of Chiropractic reported that women who received chiropractic care experienced a significant reduction in menstrual pain and suffering.

In another case study, a woman kept a journal of the severity of her menstrual-related pain for four months prior to receiving chiropractic care and three months during. Her pain was significantly less severe and there were fewer episodes.

As an alternative to drugs and surgery…chiropractic care may be just what someone you know needs if they’re suffering the debilitating effects of dysmenorrhea. Have them call us today.

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
