Chiropractic approach to menstruation and PMS care: Chiropractic for women, aligning the pelvis, intestines, and autonomic nervous system
For those who suffer from irritability and abdominal pain before their period, we will introduce an approach to alleviating PMS and menstrual pain by adjusting the pelvis, intestines, and autonomic nervous system through chiropractic treatment.
Do you think, "There's no way to avoid the pain every month?"
"I can't stop feeling irritable before my period," "My stomach and lower back feel heavy and tired and I can't concentrate on my work," "My moods fluctuate so much that they cause trouble for my family."
These symptoms are known as PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and are a concern for many women. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 70 to 80 percent of women in their 20s to 40s are aware of PMS symptoms.
However, many people tend to give up, thinking, "I have no choice but to rely on medication" or "It's just my constitution, so there's nothing I can do about it."
In fact, by balancing the body through chiropractic treatment, it can help relieve PMS and menstrual pain.
What are the main symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome)?
PMS symptoms are many and varied, often a combination of physical and psychological symptoms.
Physical symptoms
-
Lower abdominal pain, lower back pain
-
Headache, stiff shoulders
-
Swelling, fatigue
-
Constipation or diarrhea
Psychological symptoms
-
Irritability and depression
-
Poor concentration
-
Insomnia or drowsiness
-
Extreme mood swings
The underlying causes of these conditions include changes in hormone balance , as well as autonomic nervous system disorders and stagnation of blood flow .
Key points for PMS care through chiropractic treatment
1. Pelvic adjustment
The pelvis is a very important part of a woman's body. If the pelvis is misaligned, blood flow to the uterus and ovaries can become stagnant, which can lead to more severe menstrual pain. By correcting the pelvis with chiropractic treatment, circulation in the lower abdomen can be improved, leading to relief of menstrual pain.
2. Intestinal care
Many people experience intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea during PMS. The intestines are closely related to the blood flow in the pelvis and the autonomic nervous system, and when they become stiff, they increase the pressure and discomfort in the lower abdomen. By relaxing the intestinal tension through chiropractic treatment, the digestive rhythm is regulated, making it easier to feel lighter in the lower abdomen.
3. Regulating the autonomic nervous system
The spine and diaphragm are closely related to the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. By correcting your posture and softening your diaphragm through chiropractic treatment, you can breathe more deeply and your autonomic nervous system can switch gears more smoothly. This helps to ease irritability and depression, and makes it easier for you to calm down.
4. Release tension in your head, neck, and shoulders
Headaches and stiff shoulders tend to worsen during PMS. By releasing tension in the neck and head through chiropractic treatment, blood flow to the head improves, making it easier to relax.
Self-care at home
In addition to chiropractic treatment, it is effective to incorporate care that you can do yourself.
-
Warm your stomach and lower back (heat packs, belly warmers, hot water bottles)
-
Be conscious of taking deep breaths (long exhales activate the parasympathetic nervous system)
-
Stretching the hip joints and lower back (promoting blood flow in the pelvis)
-
Take a warm bath at night
Incorporating these self-care practices into your daily routine can help ease the symptoms.
