Barton Chiropractic in Concord is constantly reviewing the latest healthcare research so that we can provide you with the best possible health care. Recently I ran across this article so I thought I would share it.
Pelvic pain; dysmenorrheal; low back pain; uterine, bowel, gynecologic and/or sexual dysfunction; and uterine bleeding are all symptoms of gynecological problems. Whereas an OB/GYN might prescribe medication or suggest a hysterectomy but Chiropractic care has been shown to improve gynecological issues such as the aforesaid.
This is the case of a 45 year old woman who had been suffering from constant pain in the lower back and the right lower quandrant of the abdomen. She had initially gone to her OB/GYN. She was first given antibiotics with little improvement. A total abdominal hysterectomy was then performed (including the tubes and the ovaries). Her pain was gone after the surgery, for about 3 weeks. Then it returned. Chiropractic examination revealed disc herniation at L1-L2 and disk bulge at L5-S1. Her neurologist recommended back surgery (laminectomy). Patient refused. After six months chiropractic care, she remains relatively pain free. She could have avoided major surgery if she had seen a chiropractor first. (Neurological Pelvic Pain. Molina N. Dynamic Chiropractic Jan 29th, 2001 p. 28, 40.)
This girl had trauma to the thoracic and lumbar spine and had not responded to homeopathic and antibiotic therapy for two years. The patient received eight chiropractic adjustments over a period of two months with complete resolution of the complaint. (Chiropractic management of a 7-year-old female with recurrent urinary tract infections. Vallone SA. Chiropractic Technique 1998: 10:113-117.)
This review paper examined a number of studies that have shown a positive correlation between chiropractic intervention and the alleviation of the suffering associated with primary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can feature different kinds of pain, including sharp, throbbing, dull, nauseating, burning, or shooting pain. Dysmenorrhea may precede menstruation by several days or may accompany it, and it usually subsides as menstruation tapers off. Dysmenorrhea may coexist with excessively heavy blood loss, known as menorrhagia. ( Polus, BI, Henry SJ, Walsh MJ. Chiro J Aust 1996; 26:21-4. )
This is the study of 496 female patients with gynecological problems (inflammation, dysmenorrhea, sacral pain etc.) who underwent chiropractic care. Immediate relief occurred in most cases.
