(Newswire.net — October 31, 2014) Darien, CT — One of the more prevelant symptomc of primary dysmenorrhea is lower back and pelvic pain before and during a woman’s monthly cycle. The pain has been mitigated by utilizing chiropractic care. There is a high degree of relief being afforded to women with dysmenorrhea.
In a study performed through the National College of Chiropractic, 88% of women receiving chiropractic adjustments (treatment) reported reduced pain during their menstrual periods compared to women not receiving Chiropractic care. This may not seem like a big deal to you if you do not have the problem that many women face every month.
If you do experience painful lower back pain during your period you should be running to your local chiropractor to find out for yourself. This is good news, great news but why are you only hearing about it now? The study was done in 1992! You would think that every women experienceing dysmenhorrhea ( painful menses) would know about this. Instead I am writing about it 12 years later.
Let me explain how it works. A simple adjustment will relieve pressure on the nerves that feed the lower back and pelvis. By removing the pressure and nerve interference caused by misaligned spinal vertebra chiroractors can lessen the pain associated with dysmenhorrhea. So why do so few people know about this? Why is this information not forthcoming?
Maybe chiropractors need better press. This is big especially because it is all natural.Big pharma loses money when people seek natural treatments over medications.There are no side effects from the chiropractic adjustment. You hear about women having to take 8-10 Advil a day. Do you have any idea what that much Advil can do to your stomach? It can be enough to shut down a liver or your kidneys. Yet they take them every month by the handful.
Rather then complain about general ignorance lets focus on education. If you know someone who has really bad back and pelvic pain around their period tell them to try seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractic has been around since 1895. Most people do not have a clue as to how helpful chiropractic care can be. This is one type of condition that has been effectively helped with chiropractic care. How many other conditions can be helped? You would be surprised. I ask that you keep an open mind to natural health care and chiropractic.
