Acupuncture Treatment for Menstrual Pain
Acupuncture Treatment for Menstrual Pain
In recent studies results show that women are becoming more inclined on finding alternative therapies to alleviate excessive menstrual pain. Acupuncture came out os one of the top choices amongst women due to its stimulatory nature which provides short-term relief to chronic pain. Here is how acupuncture treatment for menstrual pain works:
Symptoms of menstrual pain and the level of pain vary in every woman. Symptoms may include abdominal cramping, headaches, nausea, diarrhea, frequent urination, vomiting and low back pain. Menstrual pain may be caused by severe contractions of the uterus triggered by the prostaglandins (chemicals in the body involved in inflammation and pain).
An acupuncture treatment for menstrual pain begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health. Once the assessment is completed, the acupuncturist will proceed to design the most appropriate treatment for each patient. What acupuncture will do is regulate blood flow through the abdominal cavity and relax the nervous system. By doing so acupuncture will reduce muscular contractions. This type of treatment will also help patients dealing with pain and inflammation hence improving quality of life. The acupuncturist may recommend complementary visits to the naturopath or chiropractor if needed.
Worrying about side effects? Some of the side effects you may get from using acupuncture treatment for menstrual pain are better digestion, improvement of sleep, relaxation, pain relief, and steadier mood. So why not try it yourself?
