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.

Can chiropractic relieve PMS?
If you have subluxations, especially in the lower spine that impair nerves that direct and monitor the reproductive and hormonal systems, chiropractic could be helpful. Undetected subluxations may also be responsible for pelvic pain, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and even infertility. Maybe chiropractic can help. Find out!
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Broomfield chiropractic practice.
