Can Chiropractic help premenstrual syndrome? Can chiropractic help the cramping, pain, and bloating of menstruation (dysmenorrhea)? Can chiropractic help those going through menopause - the period of change that arises when menstruation ceases? Millions of women with these conditions have visited chiropractors - why?

YOUR SPINE, NERVES, AND HORMONES
The female sexual organs - the ovaries, oviducts (tubes), uterus, cervix, vagina, glands and related structures - all need a healthy nerve supply from the spine to function properly. Doctors of chiropractic help see that the sexual organ/spinal column relationship is a healthy one. Let’s discuss some of the common conditions associated with the female reproductive system.

THE HYSTERECTOMY HOAX:
Hysterectomy, the amputation of the uterus, which may also include the removal of both tubes and both ovaries, is done to over 600,000 Amercian women a year. Many are performed on women under 30. "These operations are almost always unnecessary," says Nora W. Coffey, president of the HERS (Hysterectomy Education Resources and Services) Foundation: As Stanley West, M.D. has written in The Hysterectomy Hoax: "More than 90% of all hysterectomies are unnecessary. Worse, the surgery can have long-lasting physical, emotional, and sexual consequences that may undermine your health and well-being."
Doctors are not taught the true damage hysterectomy can cause: "I was taught castration (removal of ovaries) does not affect a woman’s sexuality, but women tell quite another story."

MENOPAUSE:
Many doctors consider menopause a disease instead of a normal physiologic state. Because of this attitude, women are often subjected to drug therapies that may cause dangerous side effects. As Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. has stated: Since medical treatment for hot flashes for over five decades has proven to be more dangerous than the disease (what disease?) and since the latest non-hormonal treatments are no less frightening than their predecessors, my best advice to women with hot flashes is to stay away from the doctor. Talk to plenty of other women. Read books on the subject by women who are not doctors. If you must go to a doctor, remember that you are receiving experimental drugs whose side effects become more visible year after year.

SPINAL CARE:
It is no coincidence that many who suffer from menstrual cramps also suffer from neck or back pain. In one study of 122 dysmenorrhea sufferers, most had lower back problems and spinal displacements. Perhaps that is why many women who initially visited a chiropractor for neck or back problems experienced beneficial effects on menstrual cramps, pain and other gynecological problems. There are, however, many women who suffer from menstrual problems and other health conditions who will not go to a chiropractor because: "If I don’t have a backache, why go to the chiropractor?"
Many other organs, other than the sexual ones are responsible for reproductive health. For example, chemicals produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands that are essential for reproduction are broken down by the liver. If the liver isn’t working properly, these chemicals can build up to unhealthy levels and cause fibroid tumors in the uterus account for at least 1/3 of all gynecological admissions to hospitals.

THE SPINE/PELVIS RELATIONSHIP:
Many women who suffer from a wide variety of pelvic and gynecological conditions have discovered the natural benefits of chiropractic care. Patients have also observed that menopausal symptoms including depression, hot flashes, back or joint pain, irritability, headaches, or fatigue, have been reduced from chiropractic spinal care. Dr. J.E. Browning is a doctor of chiropractic who has written extensively on the chiropractic management of patients with pelvic problems. His clinical observations have led him to state that, "Various disturbances in pelvic organ function have been successfully managed by chiropractic...symptoms(include) bladder, bowel, gynecologic, and sexual dysfunction..."

The obstetricians and gynecologists are stunned by the dramatic increase in cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, cysts, and hysterectomies being performed.  Because of the dramatic increase in deaths they decided to do a study to find out the cause of all these female problems.

 

In this study they took 363 patients who had some type of female organ problem and they measured their lumbar curve (lower back).  Just as you expected, almost every patient had a loss of the lumbar curve, which means they were Subluxated.  The conclusion of the study was, an abnormal change in spinal curvature, appears to be a significant risk factor in pelvic organ prolapse.  That means when the spine was out of alignment the organ would die!

 

If I cut the nerves to your eye, you wouldn’t see anymore.  If I cut the nerves to your lungs, you wouldn’t breathe anymore.  What’s flowing through the nerves?  Life and Energy!  If you loose the normal spinal curves, nerves get irritated, less life and energy get to the body, and the body starts building disease.

 

You don’t get symptoms until enough disease is present.

 

Why would you ever wait to check your family for SUBLUXATION when you know they could already be building disease in their body?

 

So what are the Ob/Gyn’s doing about this research?  Nothing!  They have no training in the removal of nerve damage and bringing life back into the body.  That’s why a Chiropractic spinal exam is the most important test you and your family will ever receive.
