You Matter!!

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed, in pain, or completely burned out to take care of yourself.

Massage doesn’t have to be something you “earn” after doing enough, working enough, or pushing through enough.

It can be part of how you support your body before it reaches empty.

Consider this your reminder: care counts, even when you’re not at your breaking point.

Share this with a client who needs the reminder.

Nothing in the body happens without a reason. When we chase symptoms alone, we miss the cause entirely. Principled chiropractic asks a deeper question: what is interfering with the body's ability to express its full potential? Drop a 🔥 below if this changes how you think about health.

Chiropractic Can Help Your Menstrual Cycle

What a surprising title, huh? Many women experience pain, every month with their period. In fact, I spoke to many patients about it, they feel broken, even shame when they have such mood swings. Most people think it is embarrassing to talk about. Listen to what I have heard and seen.
The body has four vital signs: body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. The fifth vital sign should be to discuss with a girl or woman about their cycles. It is common to have menstrual problems, but not normal. A chiropractor teaches the patient to listen to their body. For a woman, the first system to be impacted under stress is their menstrual cycle. While under this stress, from work or life, or too much exercise even, the body is smart, it is even more miraculous. The body will say, “it is more important to survive under this stress, not reproduce, so I will shutdown all the many hormonal functions that occur during a 28-day cycle.”.
What do girls do with painful, irregular menstrual cycles? They are given the birth control pill or anti-inflammatory medications. It doesn’t “fix” anything, it suppresses the LH hormone, but the underlying problem still exists. Even young girls are getting blood clots from the pill.
Sometimes the irregular cycles (they could be from 21-35 days) could be not just from stress, but also toxins in their food, make-up, or lotions. And, if their spine is out of alignment. The T10-L2 and S2-S4 spine levels control the nerves to the uterus and ovaries. It is a joy when a girl says, “hey doc, after three months of my care with you, my body’s nervous system must be working better. My cycles are more regular with less pain, and I came to get adjusted by you for something else.” Girls who had miscarriages or couldn’t get pregnant do better with proper nerve supply.
I often refer my female patients to a friend of mine; Dr. Jill is an OBGYN who will do hormonal testing on them. So, I want to remind you, seeing a good chiropractor isn’t just for back pain. We help your smart, intelligent body to function and adapt better as we gently adjust your spinal misalignments, and you would be amazed how much better your body will work.
So as your read this, if you or a female friend feel “why do I have worse pains than my friends during their period?”, I hope this article encourages you to come in and get a better functioning nervous system.
