Whether you are pregnant or not, a new mother, overweight, live a stressful life, are physically active in work and/or sports, Chiropractic care could benefit you.
Chiropractic care can promote overall health and well-being but many of those who seek help from a Chiropractor have a specific problem or complaint that Chiropractic care can help to ease or prevent.
Chiropractic works by improving communication through your body’s nervous system. It can release disruptions that may cause organs and tissues to malfunction, improving overall health and sharpness.
Reproductive Cycle
Getting ready for pregnancy, being pregnant, and recovering from childbirth are among the female processes that can be made easier and less painful through Chiropractic care. Correcting misaligned vertebrae can improve the health of the entire body, no matter where in the reproductive cycle you may be.
Pregnancy is tough on the body, especially as baby grows and mom’s centre of gravity shifts forward. As pregnancy progresses, ligaments relax and loosen the pelvis in preparation for labour and delivery. This comes, for some moms-to-be, at a cost: discomfort and pain.
Chiropractic adjustments while women are carrying can ease their daily life, while chronic pelvic pain and pain from the menstrual cycle can also be alleviated by Chiropractic care.
New moms often experience muscle pain and fatigue while they recover from pregnancy and birth and their body adjusts to its new role. A Chiropractor can help manage post-partum discomfort with Chiropractic adjustments.
Menopause is a time when hormones surge and change within the body. This can lead to myriad of symptoms which can include mood swings, weight fluctuations, hot flushes, and many more. Chiropractic adjustments can help to regulate hormone production in the body and make this transitional stage in life easier.
Cramps & Lower Back Pain
Women may experience cramps and lower back pain for a number of reasons, from complications related to menstruation to endometriosis. Sometimes these cramps and pains can be so debilitating that women are barely able to move.
Adjusting misalignments in the spine and freeing up the nervous system allows for better communication between the brain and the reproductive system to allow it to function more clearly, without pain.
Osteoarthritis
While also found in men, osteoarthritis is more common in middle-aged women. This is because of a variety of different factors, including changes in hormone levels during menopause, wider hip placement compared to men, and strong female genetic links.
Osteoarthritis is a disorder that results in the degeneration of joint cartilage and its underlying bone. In particular, it causes hip, knee and thumb joint pain and stiffness. A Chiropractor can help reduce the pain of Osteoarthritis in women with Chiropractic care.
Osteoporosis
As women get older, they can suffer from osteoporosis, which is a degenerative disease of the joints where bones become porous and brittle.
Chiropractic care can help combat the effects of osteoporosis by ensuring optimal structural stability of the body therefore boosting the strength and function of the bones, joints and muscles.
Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
Some women may also experience the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, which brings reduced mental function. Because Chiropractic care improves the brain’s communication within the nervous system, it can upgrade the well-being of women with Alzheimer’s or dementia, helping women to stay healthier and have improved brain function.
Stress
There is a direct relationship between pain and stress. If you are under a lot of stress, you may feel all kinds of pain and discomfort. And if you are stressed, more often than not, your mental health may suffer too. Chiropractic care can help relieve the side effects of stress (when it cannot be avoided/removed) especially if that stress causes neck or back pain.
Chiropractic care is focused on allowing your spine and nerves to work to their potential. This results in not only allowing our organs to function but for them to function to the best of their ability.
Wellness care
One of the times in a women’s life when Chiropractic care can do the most good is when she’s looking for wellness care. Being proactive about your wellbeing is important to living a healthy, active life and keeping your spine and nervous system well aligned has a very positive impact on your health. Wherever you are in your journey of life, consider Chiropractic care for relief, correction, prevention and optimisation of your well-being.
