Women
have special needs, from menstruation to pregnancy to menopause. Chiropractic
care can help women deal with these life changes
Mentrual
Cramps
During menses,
women discover they not only experience cramping in the lower abdominal
region but also lower back pain. Pressure on the nerves leading to
the uterus can be relieved through specific spinal adjustments during
this "time of the month", often diminishing or eliminating
pain in both regions. 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.
Therefore, by receiving chiropractic
adjustments during the menstrual period, you can eliminate the need
for many analgesics (i.e. Advil, Alleve) many of which have serious
side effects.
Pre-
or Post-Natal Needs
Pregnancy - During pregnancy,
a women’s body experiences a period of rapid changes (shape,
hormonal and loose ligaments). As a result, the body becomes stressed.
Many women develop upper back pain, lower back pain and sciatica.
Chiropractors have special tables which expand to allow pregnant women
to lie on their stomach. The special tables in conjunction with specific
methods geared to the pregnant woman, will allow safe and proper chiropractic
treatment up to labor.
In a recent study 91% of pregnant women
studied reported pain relief as a result of regular chiropractic care
during their pregnancy. Through regular chiropractic care during pregnancy,
women can benefit from proper nervous and body system function so
important to fetus development. Specific chiropractic adjustments
are now shown to be preventative measure and treatment for toxemia.
