Women experience a variety of musculoskeletal problems throughout their lives, ranging from hormonal cramps to back pain during pregnancy. Chiropractic care may be the key to alleviate these issues. Here are a few problems that chiropractic care may benefit women!
Osteoarthritis
A disorder that results in degeneration of joint cartilage and bone, osteoarthritis is primarily seen in people over 50 usually more common in females. This is usually due to a fluctuation in oestrogen during menopause. It usually causes hip, knee, and finger joint pain and stiffness. Chiropractic Care can help reduce pain of osteoarthritis in females. Joints can become damaged due to changes in posture and repetitive strain to joints because of the way you sit, stand, or walk. By fixing bad habits and making the right changes combined with chiropractic care may help decrease arthritic symptoms.
Lower Back Pain and Cramping
Lower back pain and cramping and can be caused by various factors such as endometriosis and other complications associated with menstruation. Some women are limited in their movements as they are unable to move due to pain. This means that pain, cramping and other associated factors such as headaches and migraines could be a problem. Chiropractic care is a way to decrease this pain and get back to a normal lifestyle. Cramping can be reduced by adjusting the spine and using soft tissue therapy methods to decrease tension within the affected muscle.
Pregnancy
As a mother grows, her centre of gravity moves forward and her body has to adjust to her baby’s changes. When this occurs an increased back curve is observed increasing strain within the area of the spine. A pregnant woman’s ligaments also change as they begin to loosen and relax as she reaches labour and delivery. This commonly results in pregnant women being in discomfort and pain. Pregnancy chiropractic care can help ease discomfort and pain that comes with pregnancy such as neck pain, headaches or low back pain just to name a few.

Remedial Massage is the oldest form of physical therapy, this specific form is more than just a relaxation technique. What Remedial Massage aims to do is find the “knots” also known as trigger points and apply pressure to them. What this does is release the knots where the pressure is applied allowing the muscles to free up. Our select team of practitioners are qualified to practice remedial therapy meaning that you are in good hands when choosing our services at The Melbourne Chiropractor.
