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 a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Tempe parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Tempe chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
