AN A-Z OF LUMBAR OR PAIN AND LEG PAIN: DYSMENORRHOEAI am feeling so much more calm and settled – it has changed my outlook and I feel more confident. I no longer worry about the date nor try to organise my life and work around my period knowing that I would be almost ‘out of action’. My working life is much better to manage and I can face each day confidently. At home my family all say I am easier to live with and I am, without such awful pain. Now that the pain and discomfort have gone I really wonder why we put up with such unnecessary agony for ourselves and everyone around us. Treatment changed my attitude, renewed my confidence, and gave me a new life. Painful periods are often an indication that the pelvis needs realigning. By the time menstruation commences, there has been ample opportunity for sporting sprains to have thrown the pelvis out of correct alignment. My clinic is near an ice skating rink. I have witnessed a considerable number of falls onto the hip joint. This is one of the ways that the pelvis is sprained and if left uncorrected will, and does, result in painful periods when girls reach puberty. An adjustment corrects this pelvic strain so that the natural flow is unimpeded. If your daughter suffers from dysmenorrhoea, watch and see if she usually stands on one leg with the other knee bent. This is one indicator of a pelvic problem. With acupuncture the needles go into the ankles and the pain and cramp stop immediately. The points between the first finger and thumb complete the combination for the acupuncture treatment. The relief from pain is wonderful and I give the girls therapy for three weeks consecutively, then, once a month, the week before the flow. That just about solves the problem. Pain is never normal. Menstruation should be regular and painless. If not, see your chiropractor or osteopath. Find one who does acupuncture too! Rhonda’s story or the past so many years – so many that I couldn’t begin to remember my periods have meant almost a fortnight of misery and pain. My cycle would begin with feeling bloated and heavy, breasts swollen, headachy, cranky, irritable and generally negative for about four or five days. For the next four or so days, I would have spotting before my period would actually begin. The onset would be accompanied by a rather severe headache, lasting from a day or two at least and anything up to ten days. Sometimes I would work on trying to concentrate with my head pounding and my eyes burning. When it got really bad I would go and lie down on the bathroom tiles. I think I have almost lived on period pain pills for the past ten years or so and I really wonder what they do to your body. My period would then last for five to seven days with a rather heavy flow and at least two ‘fioodings’ in that time. On the first day I would usually have to spend a couple of hours with a hot water bottle to ease the pain. I had to get up and change through the night for at least four nights or if I did sleep through, there would be a big ‘clean up’ session. Then it would finish with another headache before a few final days of spotting to end it all. Then I went to my natural therapist for treatment for a painful shoulder. In conversation I mentioned my headaches and painful periods and it was suggested I try acupuncture with chiropractic. I had treatment a couple of times and almost instantly felt better. After only two treatments, my headaches have disappeared completely (which is so wonderful that no-one could really believe it). My periods last only a week now and the flow has settled down considerably. There is only slight discomfort at the beginning with some pain, but certainly not enough to complain about. *103\19\2* Related Posts:Tags: Pain Relief Leave OneYou must be logged in to post a comment. |
