Menstrual Disorders
Examples of menstrual disorders include Dysmenorrhea (severe
menstrual cramps), Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), Menorrhagia
(heavy bleeding), Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Endometriosis
(displacement of uterine tissue outside the uterus), and
Infertility.
How Upper Cervical Care Relates to Menstrual Disorders
In women, six key hormones serve as chemical messengers that
regulate the reproductive system. The hypothalamus first releases
the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This chemical, in turn,
stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Estrogen, progesterone,
and the male hormone testosterone are secreted by the ovaries at the
command of FSH and LH and complete the hormonal group necessary for
reproductive health.
Evidence supports that certain cases of menstrual disorders result
from the malfunction of nerves in the brain and spinal cord (neuroendocrine
system) that control the production of hormones. The abnormal
hormone levels can be due to a malfunction between the brain,
hypothalamus, pituitary, spinal cord, and ovaries, and can be
head/neck trauma-induced.
The purpose of upper cervical care is to reverse the
trauma-induced neck injury; thereby reducing irritation to the
injured nerves involved in the neuroendocrine system. While many
menstrual disorder sufferers recall specific traumas such as head
injuries, auto accidents or falls that preceded the onset of their
symptoms, some do not. An upper cervical examination utilizing
Digital Infrared Imaging is necessary in each individual's case to
assess whether an upper cervical injury is present and whether
benefit from upper cervical care can be achieved.
