Endometriosis Relief

Chiropractic Treatment for Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a painful and chronic disorder in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows outside of the uterus. This abnormality can cause significant pain, particularly during a menstrual period. This disorder typically develops within several years of the onset of menstruation and ends permanently with menopause. This disorder affects many women across the world, an estimated 1 in 10 women experience endometriosis.

​

Luckily, there are options for the symptoms of endometriosis, including chiropractic. 

​

Common Symptoms

The main symptom that women report with endometriosis is pelvic pain. Many women also experience dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and cramping and pelvic pain can begin days before a menstrual periods, as well as continue for days after.  

Other symptoms include painful intercourse, bowel movements and urination, fatigue, bloating and nausea. Around one-third to one-half of women with endometriosis also experience infertility issues. 

​

Causes of Endometriosis

While experts have yet to pinpoint an exact cause of endometriosis, there are several generally agreed upon explanations: retrograde menstruation, embryonic cell growth, surgical scar implantation, endometrial cells transport and immune system disorder. 

​

Are you at risk? 

There are several factors that increase risk of endometriosis:

  • Never giving birth

  • Relatives with endometriosis

  • History of pelvic infection

  • Uterine abnormalities

 

Chiropractic Options

Most often, women suffering from endometriosis are treated with drugs or surgery, although, doctors typically recommend conservative treatment before surgery.  The Endometriosis Foundation of America recommends several alternative and natural methods for helping this disorder:

  • Diet & Nutrition

  • Acupuncture

  • Exercise

  • Aromatherapy

  • Osteopathy          

  • Chiropractic

 

Several studies show that chiropractic adjustments and care can effectively manage dysmenorrhea, and women report pain relief while under care.
