💛 Endometriosis is more than just painful periods—it’s a whole-body condition that affects 1 in 9 women worldwide. Yet, it’s often overlooked, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. Let’s talk about it.
✨ What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. It can be found outside the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, the pelvic cavity, and ligaments around the uterus. More so, this tissue has been found in the bladder, re**um, and it can even extend to bowels, kidneys, lungs and brain! 🤯 It can cause severe pain, heavy bleeding, digestive issues, and even impact fertility.
🛑 Symptoms to Look Out For:
⚡ Severe cramps that disrupt your life
⚡ Heavy bleeding during periods
⚡ Chronic pelvic & abdominal pain (not just during your cycle!)
⚡ Painful bowel movements or urination
⚡ Bladder pain & vaginal discomfort
⚡ And more!
💡 Endo is linked to other conditions like chronic constipation, re**al pain, and vaginismus—showing how deeply connected the body truly is.
💆♀️ How Chiropractic Can Help
Your lower lumbar spine & sacrum house the nerves that directly communicate with your abdomen & reproductive organs. Misalignments (subluxations) in this area can contribute to nerve irritation, inflammation, and pain. Chiropractic care helps restore proper nerve function, reduce tension, and support your body’s natural ability to heal. It’s important to remember that endometriosis requires long-term care and having multiple health providers in your corner to help you is best.
