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.

Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?

Marinette parents are often amazed (and relieved) that chiropractic can be so helpful. Learn more.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Marinette chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
